Hotel
Medici is situated at number 96, Via Flavia.
The surrounding are is famous for the suggestive Trevi
Fountain, sophisticated Via Veneto
and the alluring Spanish Steps. The main
train station, Stazione Termini, is close
by. Here, there are numerous bus services and the Metropolitana,
Rome’s underground train system.
The Trevi Fountain is an exemplary high-Baroque
fountain and one of Rome’s most visited monuments. It
is the largest fountain in Rome and the water is supplied
by one of the city’s earliest aqueducts. It is customary
to throw a coin into the water, over your shoulder while facing
away. Throw one an you’ll return to Rome, two and you’ll
fall in love with an Italian a third and you’ll marry
him or her!
The Via Veneto area is renowned for the
dolce vita (sweet life) atmosphere of the 1960s when Italy
and Rome was in the midst of the Economic Miracle. Piazza
Barberini, created by Bernini in
1643, is home to the spectacular Fontana del Tritone
featuring a Triton blowing a stream of water from a shell.
Bernini was one of the most famous architects
and Baroque sculptors in 17th century Rome.
A slightly bizarre but interesting attraction is the Chiesa
di Santa Maria della Concezione - a somber 17th century
church which featuring a peculiar display of the bones of
4000 monks used to decorate the walls between 1528 and 1870.
