Italian Gelato

Ever got yourself in a very difficult decision-making process?



How about what flavor of gelato to pick?

Trevi Fountain (Fontana de Trevi)

What a wonderful day it was in Rome, the day we went to the Trevi Fountain.

Tres moedas na fonte
Qual deles a fonte vai abencoar?
Que seja a meu!

When I was young (syempre naman 1954 'di pa ko buhay / was not yet born in 1954 when the movie was released), I used to hear the song "Three Coins in the Fountain". I was not aware that there was really a certain fountain they were referring to. In my mind, I was thinking any fountain will do (I go to the dancing fountains at the Luneta park) just as long as you threw in a coin and it falls into the water.

That day, I prepared for three coins that I will throw, peso and euro. However, just like in the movie I was able to throw in just two, heheh. We were so busy taking photos and videos and just looking at the amazing fountain (plus watching our things closely for you can be absorbed with all the magic around you).

You are to throw the coin with your back at the fountain while making your wish. Then the fountain is scheduled for draining so they can collect all the coins for donation.

I added the Frank Sinatra song version. I like this one even more, though the Trevi Foutain was featured only at the end of the video clip.
