Pope Clement XII who took it into his hands to tell Nicola Salvi about his ideas about the fountain. It has been said that the fountain was reconstructed several times, especially during the time period when the Pope was sick. It was altered to his likings so that he could see it from his window because he enjoyed it so much. It wasn't until 1762 that construction on the fountain was permanently complete. Many people may not know this but Trevi fountain, the most popular fountain in Rome used to be called the terminal of the Aqua Virgo.
