LA bowl sent on April 07, 2016 (10:08) by Annamaria Pertosa. 53 comments, 1731 views. [retina]

at 24mm, 1/50 f/11.0, ISO 100, hand held. Roma, Italy.

Questa fontana ha una piccola storia da raccontare. Essa, su disegno di Giacomo Della Porta, risale alla fine del 1500, e originariamente non era collocata qui, ma poco distante, a piazza Campo de' Fiori. Più precisamente, era collocata dove ora si trova la famosa statua di Giordano Bruno. La nostra "Terrina" nel 1600 si presentava abbastanza diversa...La grande vasca, ancora collocata sotto il livello stradale a causa della scarsa pressione dell'acqua vergine si presentava senza il "coperchio" che oggi la caratterizza; inoltre per un pò di tempo fu anche decorata con dei bei delfini di bronzo, delfini che nel progetto originario dovevano finire nella parte alta della fontana delle tartarughe (al posto delle attuali tartarughe del Bernini). Il popolo a Campo de' Fiori usava spesso la nostra fontana per tenere "al fresco" la frutta, la verdura, i fiori e le varie mercanzie dei banchi del mercato, o in alternativa come ricettacolo di rifiuti, e il risultato era davvero poco edificante. Di questo si accorse papa Gregorio XV, che fece "tappare" l'elegante fontana con l'attuale poco gradevole coperchio. Fu allora che il popolo romano, che sappiamo ormai essere sempre pronto alle battute sarcastiche, prese ironicamente a chiamare la fontana "la terrina", cioè ..."la zuppiera"! Critiche e commenti sempre super graditi. GRAZIE.

Hello, dear Sergio, if we ever go back, next time, go and give him a look, because it is in the center also very close to Piazza Navona.
Good weekend to you too
Anna Maria

Maurizio, too good. I have always believed that a photo as well as emotion must tell something (having been a journalist for 40 years, now it's in my DNA) to enrich the beholder.

Fabio, the photo I correct, because I ran off the slope, unfortunately replace it would remove me the gift of your wonderful comments and criticisms. I shot this photo in March of 2016, in one of my frequent trips to Rome.

Charles, you're a loyal friend, always present in my galleries and always generous.

I greet you with affection, and I thank you, hello
Annamaria :-P :-P :-P
