Fontana di Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, Giacomo della Porta, coat of arms of Pope Sixtus V
The fountain’s pedestal i made up of two steps, where Romans and tourists gather at all times of the day, especially in the evening, drinking beverages taken out of nearby cafes and shops. People talk, phone, read newspapers, while children play football in the afternoon, yelling and shouting. A steel gate guarding the entrance to a nearby Renaissance church serves them as goal. One can get chills when seeing that one of the statues of the saints standing in the niches is about to save „a header”. This is one of the most pleasant places in Rome, cozy, theatrical, but always full of life.
