Mirabile visu

is actually a Latin phrase that means wonderful to behold - like the fountain my friend recommended me to visit when I go to Italy this June.

The fountain, Fortana di Trevi, is actually in Rome. A wishing "fountain" for locals, it collects approximately 3000 euros a day. A traditional legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome. These coins are collected nightly and has been used to subsidize a supermarket for Rome's needy.

But enough talk, pictures below.



nice to look at in the day

visually stunning at night


Altogether, wonderful to behold.

    Go Florence also! Whahaha. Other than Hotel Erina there, there's also a lot of sightseeing to do. Quite a cultural place I think.
