, 1/80 f/5.6, ISO 100, hand held. Roma, Italy.

La monumentale fontana della Dea Roma è stata realizzata nel 2003 dallo scultore polacco Igor Mitoraj. L'opera, costituita da più blocchi di travertino con i giunti ben visibili, raffigura un frammento di volto femminile dai lineamenti fortemente idealizzati, segnato da piccole bugne. Il materiale scelto da Mitoraj è quello dei principali monumenti di Roma, città che lo ha ospitato influenzandone fortemente il repertorio formale e culturale. La scultura, posta su finte rocce in travertino, si staglia al centro di una bassa vasca triangolare, secondo una composizione architettonica che insiste sul rapporto tra gli elementi geometrici semplici e la grande testa. L'acqua fuoriesce solcando il malinconico volto di quest'ultima, alludendo al fluire del tempo e della storia, tema caro all'artista. La fontana della Dea Roma funge da baricentro della piccola area verde, dotata di un sistema di percorsi pedonali e luoghi di sosta, disegnati da siepi e bordure a coronamento della vasca. La realizzazione dell'opera è stata anche l'occasione per la riqualificazione dei giardini di Piazza Monte Grappa, in un'area il cui assetto urbanistico è stato tracciato prima nell'ambito dell'Esposizione Universale del 1911 e, successivamente, dalla sistemazione delle aree a giardino operata dall'architetto Raffaele De Vico alla fine degli anni Venti.

Thank you for the ride. A fountain that is not very visible is located near the Ponte del Risorgimento, Lungotevere delle Armi, and Viale Giuseppe Mazzini.

It is a beautiful work, well taken up by you.
Here too I believe that it should be better maintained and enhanced

Thank you also for this step. On foot you can enjoy it better than on the move. Fontana, however, is also interesting for the part that cannot be seen.

This too made me suffer slightly because of the parked cars. I would have liked to avoid the corner where you can see the sky, and a corner is missing. A night shot would be interesting, but you need to know if the lighting works.
