The Fountain of the Four Rivers depicts Gods of the four great rivers : the Nile in Africa, the Ganges in Asia, the Danube in Europe and the RÃÂo de la Plata in America. View of the Nile:
the face of the Nile river god is not visible, as in those days geographers didnââ¬â¢t know where this body of water began. Instead, his face is covered by a piece of cloth. Each River God is semi-prostrate, in awe of the central tower, epitomized by the slender Egyptian obelisk symbolizing Papal power and surmounted by the Pamphilj symbol of the dove. |
