, 1/30 f/5.6, ISO 125, hand held. Roma, Italy.

Lungo Borgo Pio, dove la strada si allarga a formare una piazzetta denominata Piazza del Catalone, si trova una fontanella piuttosto singolare, perché sorge isolata nel bel mezzo dell'ingresso della piazza e ricorda una di quelle edicole romane, poste lungo le vie consolari, dedicate agli dei pagani. La fontana, protetta da due colonnine raccordate da una sbarra in ferro, è costituita da una semplice edicola rettangolare in travertino, timpanata in alto ed addossata ad una costruzione in laterizio. L'arcata superiore presenta uno stemma papale, con il triregno e le chiavi decussate, mentre la parte centrale è costituita da una semplice cannella che versa l'acqua nella sottostante vaschetta ovale pensile, da cui ricade nell'impianto di scarico a fior di terra delimitato da una riquadratura a semicerchio formata da un bordo in pietra che racchiude una pavimentazione a sampietrini. Notare l'iscrizione posta immediatamente sopra la cannella, ACQUA MARCIA, che naturalmente si riferisce all'acqua che alimenta la fontanella. Ma questa scritta ci suggerisce anche la datazione della fontana: fu fatta costruire intorno al 1870 da Papa Pio IX in occasione dei lavori di ripristino dell'antica Aqua Marcia e che proprio dal nome del pontefice fu ribattezzata Acqua Pia.

I'm glad to be the first to comment on your long-awaited new shot. For me, the b/w of a busy everyday life is excellent. Perla the photographer... Photographed. Hello.

Hi Daniele, thank you very much. An eventful but fairly quiet shot in the 15 minutes of waiting before the shot. Just think that I hadn't noticed the presence of the photographer, then I couldn't resist and go with the click.
Hello and Happy New Year!

Rome's fountains are an inexhaustible reserve (even photographic).

Yes, I like this one a lot. A meeting point to cool off but also a point of knowledge.
Hello and have a nice evening!

Beautiful proposal, a historical gem that enhances the vision of the square and brings you back to a glorious past. Today, unfortunately, the frenzy of modern life makes it relegated, to most, to a refreshing moment of transition.
Excellent b/w, congratulations
