Traffic passes The Fountain of the Naiads in Rome, Italy The fountain (Fontana delle Naiadi) is located at the centre of the Piazza della Repubblica on the Viminal Hill. The fountain was created by the architect Alessandro Guerrieri in 1888. Its four bronze sculptures of naiads (water nymphs from classical Greco-Roman mythology) were created by sculptor Mario Rutelli and added in 1901 – Rutelli's central sculpture of the god Glaucus was added in 1912 before the fountain was re-inaugurated in 1914. This image is from a vintage 1950/60s amateur 35mm colour transparency.
