Antonella Spaltro is a management

student based in Rome

I’m currently studying in

Rome, and in my free time

I love to explore the

Eternal City like a tourist

• it’s so big and beautiful,
  there’s always something
  new to discover. I took this
  photo of the Trevi
  Fountain while showing
  friends around Rome. I
  love the fountain for its
  beauty but also its legend


• people come from all
  over the world to throw in
  a coin and make a wish


• and I wanted to show
  both sides in my photo.
  I submerged a GoPro in
  the water and was lucky
  enough to get this shot –
  freezing my hand in the
  process! The photo is one
  of my favourites as it
  shows my idea brought to
  life, and I’m very proud of
  the result.
