About the book >.>.> Fountains of Rome by Mario Sanfilippo delves into the rich history and significance of the city's iconic fountains. This exploration highlights the crucial role of water in ancient Roman society, from its divine connections to deities like the water goddess, Agrippa's aqueducts, and the development of public waterworks. By the end of the 1st century AD, the Romans marvelled at the vast network that included over 700 watering basins, 500 public fountains, and 130 service reservoirs, showcasing the abundance of fresh water.Sanfilippo outlines how fountains were not only practical but also symbols of artistic achievement, featuring masterpieces such as the Meta Sudans, a stunning cone of marble that appeared to sweat water, and the monumental Septizonium, which enhanced the entrance to the Imperial Palatine. This tradition of opulence attracted eminent artists throughout Roman history, including Domenico Fontana, Giacomo della Porta, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Nicolo Salvi. Their contributions have left a lasting legacy evident in the striking baroque designs that adorn the city's piazzas.The book presents the fountains as an open-air museum, offering visitors a feast for the senses and a glimpse into Rome's artistic heritage. As each fountain tells its own story, together they form an essential part of the Eternal City's charm, inviting exploration and admiration from all who venture through its storied streets.…
