The Eternal City at night...

This is the Fountain of the Four Rivers. After reading Angels and Demons, I had to see this fountain--I love its Baroque gorgeousness! It celebrates water in every way, it is truly joyous to see. Rome is full of beautiful fountains. This fountain is a tribute to the major rivers on four continents--the Danube in Europe, the Nile in Africa, the Ganges in Asia and the Plata in the Americas.



This is the Tiber River at night. Absolutely luminous.



Three coins...like every other visitor to the Trevi (designed by Nicola de Salva), I fell in love with it. Night is the best time to see the fountains--they are lit up beautiful and there are fewer visitors. It's also terribly romantic!
