As you emerge from the narrow cobble stone streets that open into Trevi Square you will be greeted by the breathtaking site of the Trevi Fountain, one of the largest and most beautiful statues in the world.

The Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi in Italian) in Rome is located in the heart of Rome's historic center and is a site that should not be missed by anyone visiting Rome.

The Trevi Fountain is located at the meeting of three roads (tre vie).The fountain was built at the end of an aqueduct (Aqua Virgo) that was constructed in 19BC. The Aqua Virgo was built by Augustus's son-in-law Agrippa to supply water for the Roman Baths. The water for the fountain comes from the Salone Springs about 14 miles outside of Rome.

If what you want is variety then Sestriere is the place to be for the Torino Winter Olympics 2006 in February. Most of the alpine skiing events will be held in Sestriere Italy.

The Sestriere area of Italy includes four villages. They are Sestriere Colle, Sestriere Borgata, Champlas du Col and Champlas Janvier. Sestriere is part of a region in Italy known as the Milky Way. The Milky Way includes five areas in Italy: Sestriere (the four villages), Sauze d'Oulx, San Sicario, Cesana and Claviere and the resort of Montgenevre in France. The Italian and French resorts are connected by a pass that Hannibal, riding on elephants, used to invade Italy.

The villages of Sestriere were built in 1934 by the Agnelli family, the same family associated with the Fiat car company. The name Sestriere comes from pietra sesteria, a stone that was used in ancient times to measure distances.
