Fontana di Trevi. Built on the facade of Palazzo Poli by Nicola Salvi , the competition announced by Pope Clement XII in 1731 was initially won by the French sculptor Lambert-Sigisbert Adam but the task subsequently passed to Salvi: it is said that the change was due to the fact that the pontiff did not want to entrust the work to a foreigner, while another version explains that Adam had to return to France .
Begun in 1732, it was finally entrusted in 1759 to Pietro Bracci aided by his son Virginio. The two completed the work, which was inaugurated in 1762.
