View of a Fountain Mask in Rome, Italy. The Fontana del Mascherone is an unusual fountain on Via Giulia, near the Farnese Arch. The large and almost scary mask dribbles water from its mouth. The fountain was designed in the first half of the 17th century the authorship is attributed to Girolamo Rainaldi, and it was made of marble, granite and travertine, also featuring metallic insertions such as the metal lily, the symbol of the Farnese family who, apparently, commissioned the construction of the fountain. |
