Catholic charity Caritas employee Fabrizio Marchioni, 52, carries a bucket containing coins collected at the Trevi Fountain at the Caritas office in Rome, Italy, February 26, 2024. Twice a week, up to four workers collect the coins. The fountain is drained for cleaning twice a month. After the coins have been swept into a long line by a long-reach broom, they are sucked up by hoses and taken to Caritas' office, where employee Marchioni spreads them across a huge table for drying. Caritas uses them to fund a food bank, soup kitchen and welfare projects. REUTERS/Guglielmo Mangiapane SEARCH "MANGIAPANE FOUNTAIN COINS" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES.
