I have no idea of completion timeframe, but it appeared they were going to do a lot of work on it so I wouldn't expect any time soon.
It's great that we are all different, I was in Rome earlier this year and the Trevi Fountain did nothing for me, tiny square, thousands of people and yes, a fountain but....
The Pantheon, Collosseum, The Forum, Spanish Steps, Various Piazzas, Sistine Chapel on the other hand!
ETA Sorry, just realised this is an old thread.
