Map and A wish

Normally sitting beside the fountain on a beautiful day you will find an elderly gentleman by the name of Antony.  He is around 79 years old and attests his old age to good wine, virgin olive oil and the luck of the fountain.  Luck of the fountain you say?  Yes, legend says you must throw coins with one's right hand over one's right shoulder into the Trevi Fountain.  Throwing one coin will ensure that the thrower will return to Rome.  Throwing two coins will ensure that the thrower will fall in love with a beautiful Roman girl or handsome boy, and throwing three coins ensures that the thrower will marry that girl or boy in Rome.  Antony's beautiful Roman girl's name is Tatziana.  They have been married for 60 years.
