Description:
|
The fountain designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini is surmounted by a Roman obelisk topped by the papal dove. See also the coats of arms and the drawings by Juvarra. The obelisk was brought here from the Circus of Romulus. It is a "Roman" obelisk in the sense that it celebrates the emperors Vespasian, Titus and Domitian and it was initially erected in this area (then called Campo Marzio) before being moved by Maxentius to the circus.
The fountain features four figures, each representing a river from a different continent - the Nile, Ganges, Danube and Rio della Plata.
