Description
We went to read Latin at the base of the column placed there by Marcus Aurelius. I was more interested in the fountain which turns out to be quite famous. I noticed no Latin.
The fountain in the Piazza Colonna is a fountain in Rome, Italy, designed by the architect Giacomo Della Porta and constructed by the Fiesole sculptor Rocco Rossi between 1575 and 1577.[1] Like the other Roman fountains of its time, it was built to provide clean drinking water to the Roman residents, who before then had to drink the polluted water of the Tiber River. Also, like the other fountains of its time, it operated purely by gravity; the source of the water was higher the fountain itself, causing the water to spout into the air. (Wikipedia, 2018)
