This was well written. I enjoyed seeing the photo of the fountain on your flickr. Also, it was not presumptuous- my recent visit was not preceded by viewing the film, unfortunately. So yeah, it probably did make the visit different. It being winter, however, the crowd was much smaller.

“There are flashes everywhere, people standing for pictures and others walking into their shots.”

I like the pattern of motion this sentence captures. Somehow, amid the entropy of the Trevi Fountain mob, there is a harmony between the cameras and their subjects.
