Rome is often described as the city of fountains<\/strong>: there are more than a thousand of them, spread across almost every square, from the largest to the most discreet. Monumental or modest, decorative or functional, each carries a story that links it to daily life and the city\u2019s evolution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Since Antiquity, they were essential for water supply, thanks to the numerous aqueducts that fed the capital. Later, they kept this practical role while becoming symbols of prestige and embellishment. Popes and great artists, such as Bernini, della Porta, or Maderno, left their mark by building or restoring fountains that today stand as true urban landmarks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The most famous is undoubtedly the Trevi Fountain<\/a><\/strong>, a genuine icon of the city. But Rome hosts a remarkable variety: monumental fountains of Piazza Navona, small public drinking fountains known as nasoni<\/em>, as well as elegant Baroque and Renaissance creations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Here you will find a representative selection, but there are many other fountains to discover while exploring the squares of Rome<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n[su_accordion class=\"\"][su_spoiler
