From time to time the municipality of Rome cleans the famous Trevi Fountain and gathers coins thrown by tourists “for luck.” This procedure is performed under the supervision of Carabinieri who count all coins. According to the special order, each coin becomes community property once it has touched the bottom of the fountain. Tourist donations bring Rome hundreds of thousands of euros annually. These funds used to go to the charity. But during the time of crisis, Rome has decided to spend them on the needs of the city.

There is a creepy crypt under a church in Rome that has two names, Our Lady of the Conception of the Capuchins and Santa Maria della Concezione. This church’s designer was Antonio Casoni. The crypt is decorated with skeletal remains that once belonged to 4,000 friars and were collected between 1528 and 1870. Now these human bones are arranged in ornaments. This Capuchin Crypt is a well-known ossuary that attracts tourists from all over the world. It has several rooms, and you can glance inside them after the jump.

This very small apartment is located on Piazza di Sant’ Ignazio in Rome, an amazing square in the heart of the capital and is overlooked by a huge Renaissance Church. The beautiful view behind it is Palazzo Grazioli, which is a mansion that is rented by the Italian prime minister. The apartment is 55 sq. ft., costs $70,000, and has a single floor, single bath, single window apartment and a ladder that leads to a platform containing a single bed.

Even though this is Rome, it is still crazy to pay such money for 5 square meters.

Quaranta concept was revealed by Italdesign Giugiaro in 2008. Two years after this car is finally spotted in… Rome, Italy as a taxi! Yes, Giugiaro Quaranta taxi that produces 268 horsepower and runs to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds! I would love to take THIS taxi if I ever go to Rome.
