'Pay and smile' - Rome visitors face Trevi Fountain charge
Rome has introduced a €2 fee to access the viewing area of its iconic Trevi Fountain, which had previously been free to visit.
The charge is intended to help manage the numbers of tourists and raise funds for the monument's upkeep.
Some tourists have welcomed the initiative, hoping it will reduce crowding and create a better experience. However, a skeptical tourist from Sicily is resigned to having to "pay and smile" at the Italian landmark.
