Protocol renewed for three years. Trevi Fountain coins go to Caritas for charitable activities

Throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain is now a propitiatory and well-wishing ritual that tourists of all nationalities do not shy away from. But where do those coins go once they are collected from the waters of Rome’s most famous fountain? The Giunta Capitolina has approved the renewal for three years of the memorandum of understanding between Roma Capitale and the Vicariate of Rome for the use of the coins collected in the Trevi Fountain to carry out charitable activities of a charitable and socially useful nature.

Once the coins leave the hands of tourists accompanied by a wish, a wish from them, they in fact become the property of Roma Capitale and are destined for charitable activities in favor of citizens.

“With this memorandum of understanding, stipulated with the Vicariate of Rome,” explains Councillor for Social and Health Policies Barbara Funari, “the destination, collection and method of use of the coins found in the Trevi Fountain basin for three consecutive years is decided. The proceeds will be used by Caritas for works of a social-welfare nature for the reception, inclusion and health of the most disadvantaged and fragile sectors of the population. Whoever decides to toss a coin into the Trevi fountain, in addition to wishing for their wish to come true, will also have the certainty of supporting a social project.”
