Description

The fountain leans against the wall of a building and rests on two semicircular steps paved with small porphyry blocks (sampietrini) and is decorated with a rectangular granite frame that encloses in an arched structure the date 1872 and the inscription SPQR with a double rosette in the upper part. The water pours from a simple tap under the inscription and flows into a small oval pond and then into the semicircular vessel below.
