The Trevi Fountain is one of Rome’s most famous and iconic fountains, located in the Trevi district. The fountain was built in 1762 by order of Pope Clement XIII and is considered an example of Roman Baroque.
The Trevi Fountain has been restored several times throughout its history, most recently in 2014, and is one of the most important symbols of Rome.
Rome is a must-visit destination for all lovers of art, history and even good food. The first metropolis of the West, it is still the city with the highest density and the greatest number of monuments; it would seem almost impossible to visit them all, also considering that it is the fifth largest city in Europe. But there is no shortage of ways not to miss the most important sights: specially designed walking itineraries, boat tours for an alternative viewpoint, and convenient hop-on hop-off tourist buses to get around Rome with ease.

The relationship between Andy Warhol, music and fashion is essential to understanding the importance of his artistic production.
If in fact Warhol is the most important exponent of Pop Art, it is due to the fact that he turned the artist’s studio into a creativity factory.
Andy Warhol’s life is full of moments in which his artistic genius was combined with great entrepreneurial skill.
He was in fact a great anticipatory genius and, in the 1980s, he became a veritable pop-star. His fans would stand in long lines to get their idol to sign Campbell’s soup cans, photographs, posters, magazines, banknotes… anything, once signed by the king of Pop Art, ended up as art.
Andy Warhol was, in fact, the first truly great business artist in history.

An ‘iconic’ image of the 20th century, Pietro Annigoni’s Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was commissioned from the Italian artist between 1954 and 1955.
At the time, Elizabeth II was a young queen who had just ascended the throne and the artist was asked to create an official portrait that would describe not so much the person but the queen of an empire.
