euro cruiser Posted November 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2015 The water and the lights are back on as of yesterday, November 3rd. The English-language article from ANSA doesn't mention it but the write up on the front page of the city of Rome's web site brags that the work was planned to require 20 months but was completed in only 17.

Rare cruisemom42 Posted November 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2015 ...and now they will start on a renovation of the Spanish Steps! http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2268856&highlight=spanish+steps Much less disappointing to miss these, IMO :D. Still, good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare frantic36 Posted November 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 5, 2015 For anyone interested a website I enjoyed checking prior to my cruise from Rome this year was a live cam website. In this link it is to the Trevi Fountain though you can also check work on the Spanish steps. http://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/italia/lazio/roma/fontana-di-trevi.html I liked to check sometimes at various times of the day or night. We stayed at hotel in the Pantheon Piazza so it was nice to people watch from afar :). Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texancruzer Posted November 5, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Yay !!!!! We were there last May with our son and daughter in law and it just wasnt the same to throw a coin into …….. as on our previous visits. But we will be back next September and I look forward to the "new and improved" Trevi - one of my favorite spots in Rome. We like to get a gelato and sit and people watch :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted November 25, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I just clicked the webcam and it looks like it's still covered ... as long as it's done when I get there next September, it's all good! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helpthejuggler Posted November 25, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) We visited the Trevi fountain on 13-Nov-2015 and it looks fabulous. All bright and extra white again. Edited November 25, 2015 by helpthejuggler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
