Fontana di Trevi and Palazzo Conti or Poli
Nicolo Salvi built the fountain on the back of Palazzo Poli (the Dukes of Poli were one of the branch of the Conti family), maybe based on a design by Bernini.
Palazzo Poli consisted of several buildings which were in part pulled down and modified when Via del Tritone, the street linking Piazza Colonna with Piazza Barberini, was enlarged.

 Luigi Vanvitelli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following his notable successes in the competitions for the facade of the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano (1732) and the facade of Palazzo Poli behind the Trevi Fountain, Pope Clement XII sent him to the Marche to realize some papal projects.
At Ancona in 1732, he devised the vast Lazzaretto, a pentagonal building covering more than 20,000 square meters, built to protect the military defensive authorities from the risk of contagious diseases eventually reaching the town with the ships.
His engineering talents were exercised as well: for Caserta he devised the great aqueduct system that brought water to run the cascades and fountains.

Queen Christina of Sweden, seeing the fountain and thinking that it ran in her honor, modestly asked that it be switched off: "Ma'am," came the answer, "these waters run both day and night." The fountain water comes from within a building; the Palazzo Poli, owned and operated in its time by the Dukes of Poli.
As it happens, no one has seen the Palazzo Poli since 1732; it is entirely hidden behind the fountain's huge marble façade, its bay windows and cornice still visible if you get the proper official to let you into the crawlspace separating fountain from palazzo.
In time, the area around Trevi became a place of stylish residence again, its orchards and cottages replaced by palaces, which were eventually consolidated to form the Palazzo Poli, and by houses, most of which Bernini knocked over to make room for the fountain (though he never got to build it).

 An extraordinary Baroque fusion of architecture, sculpture and abstracted nature, the Fontana Di Trevi still brings ...
A riotous panoply of cavorting sea horses, conch-blowing Tritons, exuberantly modelled rocks and sculptural trees rises in theatrical splendour to meet the facade of the Palazzo Poli above, adorned with the allegorical figures of Abundance and Health.
Finally completed in 1762, the Trevi was designed by Nicola Salvi, who picked up where Bernini left off, devoting an almost maniacal attention to the form of the scogli, or rocks, clambering over the fountain brandishing a charcoal stick to indicate precisely the shapes his stonecutters should follow.
The meltingly fluid scogli and sensuous vegetation soften and harmonize with the regularity of the palazzo above, orchestrating an exquisite unity of sculpture and architecture.

Salvi based his masterpiece on the earlier design, exploiting the characteristics of the site in order to increase the sensation of wonderment.
He purposely exaggerated the size of the fountain within its tiny square and set its façade almost entirely against the face of the Palazzo Poli.
Taking his compositional cues from Salvi, Piranesi distorts the scale and perspective of the square and the fountain’s imposing façade to increase its dramatic effect, attempting to recreate its spatial theatricality in two dimensions and succeeding rather well.
