In this short article we like to tell you some curiosities about Rome that you may not know yet. The city with its grandeur and history has almost infinite facets which make it one of the most famous cities in the world. We like to imagine that the information we will give you below will be one more reason to decide to go and visit or return to visit the beautiful city of Rome.

Here are 4 curiosities about Rome that (maybe) you did not know:

Rome and its fountains

You may have already guessed it, but the city of Rome holds the world record for fountains. In fact, there is no other city in the world with a higher number of fountains than that of Rome. In fact, in the city you can find more than 2 thousand fountains of different shapes, sizes and historical periods.

Are the hills of Rome really 7?

We learned at school that there are 7 hills in Rome. But is this really the case? Well no. Of the 7 original hills of the city which are the Aventine, Celio, Esquilino, Quirinale, Viminale, Campidoglio and Palatine, with the enlargement of the city, other hills have also been added beyond the Tiber river, namely the Vatican, the Pincio and the Janiculum.

On which day did the emperors prefer to make their triumphal entry into the Pantheon?

We tell you right away: the emperors preferred to enter the Pantheon on April 21, the day on which, in addition to being the date of the foundation of Rome, it is also the one in which the sun at noon is vertical in the sky and perfectly illuminates the oculus of the dome. For the emperors it was as if they had received the invitation directly from Apollo, God of the Sun.

When does the Trevi Fountain “cash in” a day?

The Trevi Fountain is one of the most beautiful and visited monuments in the historic center of Rome. According to tradition, every tourist who visits it, to express his wishes, throws at least three coins into the basin of the fountain. It is said that at the end of the day at least 3,000 euros are collected, which becomes about 1.5 million euros a year that the Municipality of Rome donates to charity.
