I threw coins ( I forget what they were) in the fountain back in 1950. What I wished for must have happened because I have been one lucky guy.
I saw a movie once that featured a couple who were broke, scrounging in the fountain for coins. I forget who they were too. Maybe I should have wished for a better memory.
Those were lucky coins all right. Roberto used them to buy Olivetti stock, which he parlayed one year later into a new Ferrari and a nice place on the Via Venito. WTG TO &;-)
