, 1.6 sec f/4.0, ISO 250, tripod. Roma, Italy.

Una leggenda, molto popolare ancora ai giorni nostri, è legata alla rivalità tra il Bernini e l'altro grande maestro del barocco, il Borromini. Si tramanda infatti che la statua del Rio della Plata tenga alzato il braccio per ripararsi dall'eventuale crollo del campanile o della cupola della prospiciente chiesa di Sant'Agnese in Agone e per sorreggere i suoi resti; ugualmente la statua del Nilo si copre il volto per non doverla vedere (in realtà, la copertura della testa è dovuta al fatto che quando fu realizzata non se ne conoscevano ancora le sorgenti). Si tratta di un evidente anacronismo storico, poiché la fontana fu realizzata tra il 1648 e il 1651, mentre la chiesa di Sant'Agnese in Agone fu iniziata dal Borromini non prima del 1652.
