00:00Rome's iconic Trevi Fountain reopened after three months of renovations. It comes right
00:07in time for the inauguration of the 2025 Jubilee whole year.
00:12To enhance visitor experience and prevent overcrowding, a new access system has been
00:17introduced. Staff will control the entry of the monument which will only allow 400 people
00:23at a time to enter. Visitors will now also have to pay an entry fee of 2 euros and will
00:29then have 30 minutes to enjoy the monument.
00:32We have experimented a path through the walkway to understand if it was possible to recover
00:40a more direct relationship with the monument, a closer vision that would allow us to understand
00:46the overall story that this monstrous Tardo Barocco and Proto-Neoclassical monument tells us.
00:55The re-opening comes as a holy year, also known as the Jubilee year, is about to start
01:01in the capital of Italy. The Pope formally inaugurates the holy year by pushing open
01:08the holy door of the St. Peter's Basilica at the start of Christmas Eve.
01:13The Jubilee year is a period of spiritual renewal, forgiveness and celebration that
01:19generally occurs every 25 years.
