A photo I took a couple weeks ago in Venezia. Testing out if I remember how to even post here (most of what’s been posted in last couple years has been through IFTT)! What a weird world to come back to.

The Trevi Fountain, roughly 1670, drawn by Flemish artist Lievin Cruyl. As you can see, this is 100 years before Nicola Salvi created the beautiful fountain we know today. The fountain is fed by the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, which was built in 19 B.C. #amwriting #rome #trevifountain #trevi #roma #romeitaly #romehistory #baroque #drawing #art #history #italy🇮🇹 #italianhistory #fontanaditrevi (at Fontana Di Trevi-Roma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJyfIOAHqX/?igshid=z2evqcg2p01g
