Fountain of the Goddess Roma
Piazza del Popolo
Rome Italy
2016

The fountain of Rome Between the Tiber and the Aniene, designed by Giovanni Ceccarini, found on the eastern side of Piazza del Popolo against the boundary wall of the piazza features the goddess of Rome in the center with her lance and helmet, with allegorical figures representing the river gods Tiber (holding a cornucopia) and Aniene (a tributary of the Tiber) on either side. A she-wolf lies at her feet suckling Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. A small pedestal fountain is below the statues, which overflows into a large pedestal fountain beneath it, which overflows into a large basin beneath it. At the top of the edges of the basin are sets of two fish with their bodies twisted around each other. Behind this fountain you can climb steps that lead to the Villa Borghese gardens at the top of the Pincian Hill and can get a breathtaking view of the Piazza del Popolo and the city beyond, including St. Peter's Basilica.

Piazza del Popolo is a large urban square in Rome. The name in modern Italian literally means "People's Square", but historically it derives from the poplars after which the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in the northeast corner of the piazza, takes its name.

Piazza del Popolo is one of the most famous and most beautiful squares in Rome. It is a large elliptical space designed by architect Valadier, with several interesting churches, an impressive obelisk, three fountains and the old and impressive city gate into Rome: Porta del Popolo.
