Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere Fountain
From the portico of Santa Maria in Trastevere, looking out into the namesake piazza, sits a famed 17th century octagonal fountain. It's the traditional heart of Trastevere and is surrounded by bars, restaurants and shops, as well as people. Fountain photo here!

The fountain and piazza have co-starred in many a movie. One you might remember was "Only You," a 1994 love story starring Marisa Tome and Robert Downy Jr. One evening in the piazza, Faith (played by Marisa) was running after Damon (Robert's role) and she broke the heal off her red shoe at the base of this fountain, and Damon chased after her. It's a warm-hearted movie and great to watch when you're in a romantic mood.

At the lower right edge of this picture note the silhouette of a beggar woman in the doorway. This is a very common practice in Rome, and for that matter, much of Italy. Local authorities recommend that tourists do not give any money to these people under any condition, and we support that approach.
