Fontana del Tritone

This guide to the Fontana del Tritone in Rome starts with tiny heraldic bees carved into the dolphins at its base, the emblem of the Barberini family, one of whom sat on the papal throne as Urban the Eighth. It follows why he commissioned this fountain in 1642 as a monument to himself, the scene from Ovid it depicts, and the ancient bronze he stripped from the Pantheon's portico to fund his other projects across the city. Crouch down and trace the bees along the dolphins' tails before you look up at the triton above.
