(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 7 - Access to the Trevi Fountain will be limited during the Roman Catholic Jubilee Holy Year of 2025 in a pilot scheme that may lead to the introduction of a fee to see the iconic Roman landmark, Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri said Monday.
    The centre-left official also announced the start Monday of extraordinary maintenance of the Fountain.
    It will be surrounded by transparent panels but within a month a 'horseshoe' walkway will be installed inside the basin where visitors will be able to walk while enjoying an unprecedented view.
    The walkway will have limited access, and will therefore be a dress rehearsal and experimentation of limited access to the basin that will be introduced at the end of the work, in time for the Jubilee.
    In a later phase, the introduction of a "small contribution" for entry will also be evaluated, Gulatieri said. The announcement was made by Gualtieri together with the councilors for Culture and Tourism Miguel Gotor and Alessandro Onorato and the heritage superintendent Claudio Parisi Presicce. Toruists can still make their iconic coin toss into a 'basket' from the walkway, expressing the wish to return to the Eternal City, Gualtieri said. (ANSA).
