Tourists visiting the Trevi Fountain are now going to pay more than just the legendary coin toss over their shoulder. The city of Rome is imposing a 2-euro or $2.35 fee starting on Feb. 1 for tourists to get close to the fountain made famous by Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita.” The view for those admiring the late Baroque masterpiece from the piazza above remains free. The tourist fee announced Friday is part of the Eternal City’s efforts to manage tourist flows in a particularly congested part of town, improve the experience and offset the maintenance costs of preserving all of Rome’s cultural heritage. Officials estimate it could net the city 6.5 million euros or $7.6 million extra a year.
