How much money is thrown into the fountain of wishes every year? 💸 🪙 🤯
Did you know how much money is thrown into the wishing fountain every year? Of course, this is not an ordinary wishing fountain, but the most famous fountain in the world - the Trevi Fountain in Italy. This fountain, built in 1762, attracts millions of tourists every year. Money is collected from the fountain twice a week, and by the end of the year, the money collected amounts to 1.5 million dollars. But where does this money go? A homeless man named Roberto, known as the "coin thief", collected this money for 30 years until he was arrested. After that, collecting money this way was prohibited. However, the authorities found out that Roberto did not keep the money for himself, but helped the homeless. Since 2001, the entire amount collected from the fountain has been directed to charitable projects such as homeless shelters. #facts
