"3 pesos (can't afford to throw away Euro!) in the fountain"!

Rome.14b.jpg

"Sige ka, worth 3 pesos din ang matutupad na wish mo ...!" :-p

Rome's largest and most famous monumental Trevi Fountain (1762).
As that song from the film of the same title goes "... 3 coins in the foun-tain!" (will pesos do?)

Legend runs that a young girl named Trivia led the exhausted troops of the consul Marcus Vispanius Agrippa to drink at a spring
22 km/12 miles from the city which in her honor was named Aqua Virgo/Virgin. In 19 BC, a terminal was made
to direct its waters into a distribution system for Rome's new bath complexes.
