Yes, the fountain is not very deep, especially not for swimming. I agree that the movie gives you a return trip to Rome. And I am so glad you did the Scavi tour- what time of year did you go? I was never warm down there! Jeff,

I was never warm down there!

Cardinal Federico Cornaro commissioned it for his chapel at Santa Maria della Vittoria during the papacy of Innocent X. We were lucky enough to be in Rome while the film was shooting. Got to the Pantheon as they were finishing up. My friend Liz Lev was a guide and adviser to the film. Like to see them swim in that fountain - it's not that deep! It was being restored last summer when they were there. Dan Brown plays pretty fast and loose with facts: http://www.dannyscl.net/2005/01/dan-brown-is-fraud-list-of-errors-in.html (some non-family friendly words there) The movie was a vast improvement on the book, though, and a great memento of Rome. We too did the Scavi tour (and I recall it being pretty warm down there, not cold!). It is amazing. The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa was not moved from the Vatican.
