Fontana della Piazza Colonna

Fontana della Piazza Colonna

The fountain in the Piazza Colonna, Rome, was commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII in the late 1500's, designed and sculpted by
Giacomo Della Porta with the assistance of Rocco De Rossi and was completed by 1577.

In 1830 it was restored, and had two sets of dolphins, with tails entwined, sculpted by Alessandro Stocchi, and set at either end of the long basin. The central sculpture was then substituted with a smaller sculpture and spray.
