Trevi (rione of Rome)

Trevi is the 2nd rione (district) of Rome, Italy. It is identified by the code R. II. Located in the city center, its borders are defined by Via del Corso to the west, Piazza Venezia to the south, Quirinal Hill to the east, and roughly by Via delle Muratte to the north.

Trevi is best known as the home of the Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi), a monumental Baroque fountain designed by Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini. The fountain dominates the small Trevi Square and is a major tourist attraction.

The rione's name derives from the Latin word "trivium" (three ways), referring to the convergence of three roads at the Piazza dei Crociferi.

Besides the Trevi Fountain, other notable sites within the rione include the Palazzo del Quirinale (one of the three current official residences of the President of the Italian Republic), the Piazza Colonna (with the Column of Marcus Aurelius), the church of Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio a Trevi, the church of Santa Maria in Via Lata, and parts of the Quirinal Hill.

Historically, Trevi has been an important area of Rome, containing significant political and religious institutions. Its vibrant streets, historical landmarks, and iconic fountain contribute to its enduring popularity with visitors and residents alike. The area is also known for its numerous restaurants, shops, and hotels.
