Overview
- The €2 fee applies only to the immediate viewing area between 09:00 and 22:00, with free entry for residents, children five and under, people with disabilities with an accompanying person, and MIC card holders, and the fountain remains visible without payment.
- The simultaneous capacity at the square will be cut from 400 to 250 to reduce overcrowding.
- City leaders project roughly €6–6.5 million in annual revenue to fund conservation and related museum initiatives.
- Five previously free sites — Villa of Maxentius, Museo Napoleónico, Museo Giovanni Barracco, Museo Carlo Bilotti, and Museo Pietro Canonica — will also introduce paid entry.
- Hospitality representatives, including Federalberghi’s Giuseppe Roscioli, object to charging for access to a public square.
