ROME - TRITON FOUNTAIN IN PIAZZA BARBERINI - FONTANA DEI TRITONE

The fountain designed and sculptured by Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

It was executed in 1642-1643.The fountain was made of travertine and consists of a sculpture of Triton, an ancient minor god of sea( in greco - roman myths) in the very center, kneeling on the basis of four dolphins .



A very hypnotizing, very dramatic although its simplicity sculpture that draws the attention of people, and charmonize with the public square becoming its integral feature.

  5. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is important and everything.
    However think of if you added some great visuals or videos
    to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with
    pics and clips, this site could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its field.

    Good blog!
