The most famous fountain in the world, built by the architect Salvi in 1735
under Clemente XII's pontificate. The sculptures that compose it, tell about
various events linked to the discovery of the spring itself. In the middle of
the monumental set, that takes place on the façade of a palace, there is the
statue of Ocean, represented on a chariot shell shaped, carried by winged horses.
You can see then among the other sculptures, the figures of tritons and
sea-animals, mythological or real. |
