We only managed to see two street artists unfortunately, one who was dressed as a ghost greeting the passing tourists and locals, and the other who painted Rome's most famous tourists spots on canvases. Usually there are many more street artists, however, due to the time we arrived we missed the rush hour.
We learnt about the Trevi fountain and its famous traits, such as the good luck you receive when throwing a coin backwards into the water. Also, when you dip a small section of your hair in the water. We had lots of fun participating with the other hundreds of tourists!
We later walked through one of the roads leading toward the Trevi fountain and stopped off at one of Rome's finest restaurants and indulged in some traditional food such as spaghetti and pizza. We celebrated Toby's last day with us before he returned back to Collage Arts in London.
"It was a really beautiful piece of Art. It was nice to see the tourists coming together helping each other out with taking pictures etc. Also, throwing a penny in the water was very interesting. I hope I get good luck!" - Evelyn Ofosu
