The water in Rome's famous Trevi fountain has started flowing again after the attraction was reopened following a major restoration.

The fountain, nearly 300 years old, is visited by millions of tourists every year.

But its poor structural condition was exposed in 2012 when bits of its elaborate cornice began falling off after an especially harsh winter, - BBC reports.

The fountain became famous in 1960 with the release of the film La Dolce Vita.

The work done on the famous water feature was funded by Italian fashion house Fendi, which contributed €2m.
