The Fountain of Neptune in Piazza Navona in Rome.
I still have some photos of some monuments of Rome from my last visit to the capital.
These three photos are of the beautiful fountain located in Piazza Navona.
Probably overshadowed by the larger and more famous Fountain of the Four Rivers, it is still worthy of a post of mine!

Here's where the fountain is located:

The Fountain of Neptune is located at the northern end of Piazza Navona in Rome. Also known, once, as the Fountain of the Calderai, it owed this name to its proximity to the ancient Vicolo dei Calderai (or Calderari), a small street occupied by the shops of blacksmiths and sellers of pans, pots and metal dishes in general. The basin, by Giacomo della Porta, dates back to 1575-76, while the sculptures that decorate it were placed only in 1878, by the sculptors Antonio Della Bitta and Gregorio Zappalà.

The Fountain of Neptune in Bologna

La Fontana del Nettuno a Bologna

The Fountain of Neptune in Bologna.
It is certainly the most famous fountain in the Emilian city of Bologna.
Located in Piazza del Nettuno (practically in Piazza Maggiore) between the Salaborsa Library, Palazzo Re Enzo and Palazzo d’Accursio.
Obviously it represents the god of the sea surrounded by cherubs holding dolphins and four nereids.
There is also a secret (which is no longer a secret) of the seven that can be found in the city linked to the finger of the god which, if seen from a certain perspective, appears to be his genital organ.
