Fountain of the Four Rivers: Rio de La Plata
It's difficult to go to Rome and not go and admire the Fountain of the Four Rivers, located in the centre of Piazza Navona: it is a gigantic monument, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century and depicting the 4 most important waterways in the world.
The photo depicts the Rio de La Plata, which – according to a legend that I don’t think is well-founded but is still fun – was sculpted in this curious position because it was trying to protect itself from the collapse of the bell tower of the church of Sant’Agnese in Agone opposite, built by Bernini’s historic rival, Francesco Borromini.
