Fontanella del Facchino


I randomly was skimming through my guidebook today and happened to notice a page that had a picture of the water fountain that is at the end of my road by the school (see previous post for more info!) It turns out that this fountain used to be in the Corso and now is in the wall of the Banco di Roma which is the building next door to us. It was created around 1590 and as you can see, the fountain is actually a porter holding a barrel that is putting out water. Yet another beautiful, old work of art that is right outside my door : )
