The Moor Fountain in Piazza Navona in Rome

La Fontana del Moro in piazza Navona a Roma

The Moor Fountain in Piazza Navona in Rome
The Fontana del Moro is one of the most famous fountains in Rome and is located in Piazza Navona, one of the most famous squares in the city. The square is famous for its elongated shape and the three fountains that decorate it.
The Fontana del Moro is located on the southern side of the square and was designed by Giacomo della Porta in 1575. However, the central statue depicting a Moor (i.e. an African figure) was added later by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1654.
The sculpture of the Moor, to which the fountain owes its name, represents a bearded man sitting on a rock, intent on wrestling with a dolphin. The figure of the Moor was created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and added to the fountain to replace the original sculpture of a satyr that is now in the Capitoline Museums.
The Fontana del Moro is characterized by a marble basin, supported by four dolphins, and four tritons emerging from the water, each supporting a dolphin. The fountain is one of the main attractions of Piazza Navona and contributes to the artistic and historical character of this public space.
Interestingly, Piazza Navona itself is built on the site of an ancient Roman stadium, known as the Stadium of Domitian. The square has become a lively and crowded place, frequented by tourists and residents, and often hosts cultural events and fairs throughout the year.

Here's where the fountain is located:

Immediately after the restoration of the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, completed in 1570, work began on a secondary underground branch of the conduit, in order to reach the area of ​​the ancient Campo Marzio, one of the most populous areas of Rome, and the construction of a certain number of fountains was consequently also planned. Among the first were commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII, in 1574, to Giacomo Della Porta, the two placed at the ends of Piazza Navona, of which the Fontana del Moro is the one located on the southern side of the square.

Here is the website of the ice cream shop/pastry shop in Rome where I tasted it: don-nino.it.

The maritozzo is a Roman dessert consisting of a small loaf of bread kneaded with flour, eggs, honey, butter and salt which, cut in two, is traditionally filled with plenty of whipped cream and possibly enriched with pine nuts, grapes and candied orange peel. This recipe is typical of Lazio, Marche and Abruzzo, while in Puglia and Sicily the name maritozzo indicates a braid-shaped dessert without pine nuts and raisins in the dough.

The majestic Fountain of the Four Rivers and its obelisk

La maestosa Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi e il suo enigmatico obelisco

The majestic Fountain of the Four Rivers and its enigmatic obelisk.
In the majestic Piazza Navona, in the heart of Rome, stands one of the most iconic wonders of the eternal city: the Fountain of the Four Rivers. This artistic masterpiece, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century, is a true symbol of beauty, history and artistic ingenuity.
The fountain, located in the center of the square, is one of the greatest expressions of the Italian Baroque. It represents four of the most important rivers in the world at the time, each personified by a colossal statue: the Nile, the Ganges, the Danube and the Rio de la Plata. These imposing figures seem to emerge from the water, embracing a 16-meter-high Egyptian obelisk, crowned by the dove, symbol of the family of Pope Innocent X, who commissioned the fountain.
Each statue represents a river from a different part of the world, and Bernini has masterfully captured the essence of each. The Nile, for example, has its face covered by a cloth, as the source of the Nile was still a mystery at the time. The Ganges holds a water bladder and a pagoda, while the Danube holds a medallion depicting Saint Agnes in her hand, symbolizing the Church of Rome. Finally, the Rio de la Plata is covered by a cloak, symbolizing the fact that South America was then little known to Europeans.
The Egyptian obelisk that tops the fountain is a true historical treasure. Originally erected in the city of Heliopolis in Egypt in 6 BC, it was brought to Rome in 37 AD to be erected in the Circus Maxentius, where it remained for centuries. In 1651, Pope Innocent X decided to place it in the Piazza Navona, and Bernini designed the majestic fountain to adorn it.
The obelisk is covered with hieroglyphics that tell the story of the Pharaoh Domitian. At the top is a dove with an olive branch, a symbol of peace and one of the many surprising details that enrich the Fountain of the Four Rivers.

Today, the fountain and obelisk remain one of Rome’s main landmarks. Their beauty and the energy they exude are testaments to centuries of history, art, and culture. These monuments not only celebrate the greatness of the Eternal City, but also remind us of the importance of preserving humanity’s cultural heritage for future generations.

The Colosseum: An Iconic Symbol of Ancient Rome

Il Colosseo: un iconico simbolo di Roma Antica

The Colosseum: An Iconic Symbol of Ancient Rome.
The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is one of the most iconic and recognisable monuments in the world. Located in the heart of Rome, Italy, this impressive amphitheatre has a fascinating history and timeless beauty that attracts visitors from all over the world. In this article, we will explore the history, architecture and cultural significance of the Colosseum.
The Colosseum was built during the time of the Roman Empire and is one of the largest amphitheatres ever built. Its construction began in 70-72 AD under Emperor Vespasian of the Flavian dynasty and was completed in 80 AD under his son, Emperor Titus. This grand amphitheater could seat up to 80,000 spectators and was used for a variety of public events, including gladiatorial games, theatrical performances, mock naval battles and other spectacles.
Its troubled history includes fires, earthquakes and looting, but the Colosseum has withstood the passage of centuries and has remained standing, a witness to the ages and transformations of the city of Rome. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a stone quarry for the construction of other buildings, but today it is a symbol of great historical and cultural importance.
The architecture of the Colosseum is an extraordinary example of Roman ingenuity. The amphitheater is mainly built of travertine stone, with an elliptical structure that measures approximately 189 meters in length, 156 meters in width and reaches a height of over 48 meters. The exterior façade was adorned with Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns, which helped give the Colosseum a majestic elegance.
Inside, the stands were divided into different sections reserved for different social classes. The central section was reserved for the Roman elite, while the lower classes occupied the higher sections. The central part of the arena hosted the spectacular gladiatorial performances, battles between wild beasts and other shows. The arena was actually a wooden platform covered with sand, which could be raised to reveal the underground cells where gladiators and animals were prepared for performances.
The Colosseum is a symbol of Roman architectural ingenuity and the importance of games and entertainment in Roman society. It is also an important historical and tourist site, attracting millions of visitors from around the world each year. In 1980, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and was included among the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.
In addition to its historical importance, the Colosseum is a place of profound cultural and emotional significance for the Italian people. It is a symbol of national pride and the ancient grandeur of Rome.

In conclusion, the Colosseum remains an icon of ancient Rome, an extraordinary monument that tells the story of the Roman Empire and its cultural legacy. Its magnificence and fascinating history make it a must-see for anyone visiting the Eternal City.

The Temple of Hadrian was an ancient Roman temple located in the Campus Martius in Rome. The temple was erected in honor of the emperor Hadrian, who was deified after his death. It is probable that construction of the building had already begun under Hadrian himself to dedicate it to his wife Vibia Sabina, who died and was deified in 136. Perhaps with the work having just begun, Hadrian died (138) and the actual construction of the temple was due to his successor, Antoninus Pius: the building was completed around 145.

In questo articolo, ci immergeremo nella storia e nella bellezza di questa straordinaria creazione.

Originariamente posta nel Campus Martius, oggi è un punto di riferimento nel centro di Roma.
