Our building was within walking distance of everything
This is the Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona with its famous fountains and the Church of St Agnes
This is the Trevi Fountain
Legend says that throwing a coin into the fountain ensures you will return to Rome
Americans were made aware of this in the 1950s movie "Three Coins in the Fountain"

It worked! In 2019 they recreated the scene
The Spanish Steps at different times of day
The area around the Spanish Steps has many exclusive stores
