Rome's Trevi Fountain restored in time for Jubilee year

A restored Trevi Fountain is unveiled on Dec. 22, 2024 after more than two months of cleaning and restoration, part of Rome's preparations for the 2025 Roman Catholic Holy Year. The work included removing dirt, pollution, iron oxide and limescale from the 18th century monument, one of the best known of Rome's many tourist attractions. During that time, the fountain had been drained but visitors were able to view it from a temporary footbridge. The Vatican expects up to 32 million tourists will descend on the Italian capital for the Jubilee, putting Rome's antiquated infrastructure under enormous strain and adding to the headaches of managing the flow of visitors.
