The Trevi Fountain, one of the iconic symbols of Rome, is losing some of its pieces, raising the alarm that the monumental structure needs a new major restoration. At the weekend, a few stone laurel leaves fell from the top frieze of the fountain, which marks the terminal point of of one of the aqueducts that brought drinking water to ancient Rome.
