As I arrived in Temini around 11:00 AM I decided to leave all the luggage in the luggage keeping of the station - that is until I saw the line of tourists waiting there.
The line must be at least an hour long (and my visit to Rome was not in season).
Instead I went straight to my Hotel, which was very nice and agreed to give me the room three hours before the check in time.
Hotel Indformation: Link 1, Link2.
This fountain was completed in 1762, and in the center there is a great statue of Neptune, with two smaller Neptunes or Tritons on the side - one symbolizing the calm sea (by holding a calm horse) and the other the rough sea (by holding an unruly horse).

The relief on the upper right shows her and the soldiers.
From the Trevi fountain I walked west to the Piazza Colonna (in which stands the Column of Marcus Aurelius - not to be confused with Tarajan's Column - a colomn erected after Marcus Aurelius' death in 180 AD).
