Are you superstitious? If so there are
plenty of opportunities in Italy to make your dreams come true. The most famous
location for making wishes is probably the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Toss a coin
in the fountain and you’re guaranteed to return to the Eternal City one day. I know this one works – I’ve been fortunate to return to Rome twice.

If you’re more interested in general good
luck, then you should head to Villa San Michele on the island of Capri. There’s
a granite sphinx on a terrace overlooking the sea – what a fantastic view! If you pat the
sphinx’s hind quarters then good luck is sure to come your way.

And if you’re seeking good luck in love,
Italy’s got you covered too. The statue of Juliet in Verona attracts millions
of visitors who rub her right breast and ask for her assistance in matters of
the heart.

Have you tried making a wish at any of
these locations in Italy? Did it work?

I threw my coins into Trevi in 1969 and haven't made it back but that is purely by choice since there are so many places to visit in the world.

My visits to Rome have been very brief (a couple of days) so there's always been something new to see each time. Although when you're travelling on a tour you do repeat some of the sights.
