The papal state has been formally recognised as a sovereign state since 1929. Some of the rules and laws in the enclave are somewhat different to those that apply in Italy. Vat does not exist, advertising is only permitted on vehicles and if you use a cash machine, you\u2019d better have passed your Latin exam. That\u2019s because the notices are in Latin. What\u2019s more, Vatican City has the highest crime rate in the world relative to its population size.

It is believed that if you throw a coin, you will soon return to Rome. Throwing two coins means that you\u2019ll fall in love with a person from Rome, and three coins means you\u2019ll marry this person. It seems that many tourists take this superstition seriously, because up to 3,000 euros are tossed into the Trevi Fountain each day. Until recently, the\u00a0money was donated to Caritas. Since November 2017, the city authority in Rome has kept the coins to bolster its own\u00a0coffers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Trevi_Brunnen-Kopie-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Fun Facts\u00a0Rome\" class=\"wp-image-12291 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Trevi_Brunnen-Kopie-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Trevi_Brunnen-Kopie-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Trevi_Brunnen-Kopie-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Trevi_Brunnen-Kopie.jpg 720w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 683px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 683\/1024;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Trevi_Brunnen-Kopie-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Fun Facts\u00a0Rome\" class=\"wp-image-12291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Trevi_Brunnen-Kopie-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Trevi_Brunnen-Kopie-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Trevi_Brunnen-Kopie-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Trevi_Brunnen-Kopie.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">#5 The rather unusual detergent<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In ancient times, it wasn\u2019t uncommon for Romans to wash their clothes with urine.
