Italian fashion house unveils suspended walkway over Rome’s Trevi fountain.

Fashion house Fendi kicked off the restoration of Rome’s famed Trevi Fountain recently, unveiling a transparent suspended walkway which will give tourists a whole new vantage point of the historic monument. Though the fountain has been drained for the renovation, a small basin has been set up at the rim so that visitors can continue the tradition of throwing a coin into the waters with their back turned – a custom which is said to bring good luck.
