Rome’s Trevi Fountain will gush its emerald waters once again after a clean-up funded by Italian fashion house Fendi. Crowds of frustrated tourists have spent months peeking at bits of the monument from a special walkway put in over the fountain while repairs were carried out to the tune of over $2.2 million.
