Nicola Salvi designed the largest and most famous fountain in Rome in 1762. The central figures are Neptune, flanked by two tritons, one trying to master an unruly sea-horse, the other leading a quieter beast, symbolizing the two contrasting moods of the sea.
It is believed that if you throw a coin into the fountain, you will return to Rome sometime in the future. I threw two coins; hopefully I will be back : Twice!
