Abstract
The purpose of this research paper is to discuss the characteristics of the modifications carried out on the Trevi fountain by G. L. Bernini during 1641-43. The research paper starts by decoding Della Porta's estimate for the modifications made on the fountain, then discusses the project of the fountain in 1563. The research further clarifies the changes brought upon the fountain's vault during the 1641-43 modifications, by comparing the fountain after Bernini's modifications and its project in 1563.
