Fontana del Moro

This week on a walk through Piazza Navona I took specific notice of one fountain in particular, the Moro fountain. Its difficult to tell what the statues that line the fountain are supposed to represent, but it looks as though they are drinking out of some sort of bottle. Centering the fountain is an image of a triton who is riding a dolphin, although it more looks as more as if he is wrestling with it. The fountain is well known for the special marble with which it was made, an antique rose marble. This fountain is peaceful as compared to the Fontana di Nettuno which features a much more active portrayal.
