Rome - Fountain of the Naiads

(Local Name: Fontana delle Naiadi) The Fountain of the Naiads in the Piazza della Repubblica - also known as the Piazza dell'Esedre since it is laid out on the site of the exedra of the Baths - was erected between 1885 and 1914. It consists of four groups of female figures playing with marine animals, with a figure of "Man Victorious over the Hostile Forces of Nature" in the middle.
