LA bowl sent on April 07, 2016 (10:08) by Annamaria Pertosa. 53 comments, 1730 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.

It 'an original fountain because of the "cover" which has a history that was worth telling.
I realized the slope, as I said in my archive I have already put in place, but I regret to replace it, because it would lose your precious and welcome comments.
Thank you for your presence and for flattering.
Best wishes
Annamaria :-P :-P

Human events of the past do not criticize, are discussed. Your photo is a testimony of a local accomplished fact, with your caption, you have completed the history of the fountain. Good management bn. Compliments

Sometimes we focus on the main subject and does not take into account the special (alignments or slopes), can 'happen; Here the subject in the foreground collects immediate, the visitor's gaze (rather unusual sculpture) but consistent with historical associations that have made so interesting caption; the perspective distortion is not 'easy to intervene in post quelacosa but perhaps it could be done, while the horizontal alignment I think you could fix with less apprehension although essndo the object almost at the edge of the frame, I do not know if after straightened, would remain everything in the frame (always better to leave a high volume air wire framing and shooting stages, you never know ...) ;-)
Nice historical document Annamaria.
A friendly greeting, hello Claudio :-P
