Fontana di Piazza Aracoeli

Built in 1589 by Giacomo Della Porta, the fountain consists of a boat-shaped pond with a decorated shaft on a cube base that holds a basin. On the basin four putti sculpted by Brasca pour water from small amphorae and with their backs turned to each other hold the heraldic mountains of Sixtus the Fifth Peretti (1585-1590) under whose papacy the fountain was built. The original structure is placed at the centre of a circular pool built at the beginning of the eighteenth century and protected by small low columns connected with an iron bar.
