Fountana
di Piazza di San Pietro
One
of two twin fountains on either side of the 4 B.C. obelisk in the center
of the St. Peter's Square; the one here
is
the original by Carlo Maderno (1613), which is the one on the right as
you face the Basilica. In 1675,
Gian
Lorenzo Bernini created a second fountain to match this one which was placed
on the
opposite
side of the Square. You can see them both in one photo by looking
at the second photo in this series
that
was taken of the Square from atop Michelangelo's Dome on Page 1.
This is me and my daughter, Tami, in 2001.
