		</div><p>The leaders of the world’s biggest economies have been taking in the sights in Rome, visiting the Trevi Fountain before getting back to work hammering out a final statement on climate change.</p>
<p>As the water gurgled behind them, the G20 leaders each threw a coin into the enormous Baroque-style fountain that has been the backdrop of many a film, most famously Fellini’s La Dolce Vita.</p>
<p>Legend has it that if you throw a coin into the fountain, you will return to the Eternal City.</p>
<p>The leaders included British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Italian premier Mario Draghi, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron.</p>
<p>But not all members of the G20 participated in the visit; notably absent was US President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>The fountain, which draws its source from Rome’s ancient aqueducts, went through various phases of design before its current version was inaugurated in the mid-1700s.</p>
<p>It depicts Neptune, the god of the sea, taming the waters.</p>
<p>Built into a wall of the Palazzo Poli behind it, the fountain draws its name from its location at the confluence of three streets, or “tre vie”, in Rome’s historic centre.</p>
<p>The coins are regularly scooped out of the basin of the fountain and given to charity.</p>
