Acqua Minerale Naturale


So I know that I have mentioned them before, but the water fountains here are SO COOL. I can't believe that present-day Romans are still using the water system (aqueducts) that the ancient Romans built thousands of years ago. All over the city, there are marble or stone fountains that are constantly putting out fresh, drinkable water from the mountains. Everyday, I fill up a water bottle before class at the one that is at the end of our street. Also, I think that it is funny that even though there are so many sources of clean water all over the city, restaurants still find it necessary to CHARGE 3 Euros for water. This is a picture of the water fountain by my school.
