Rome
Detail of fountain, Piazza della Rotonda, Rome, Italy, pictured on December 11, 2010, in the afternoon. Located at the bottom of the Rameses II Obelisk in front of the Pantheon, the fountain was originally designed in 1575 for Pope Gregory XIII by Giacomo della Porta (c.1533-1602). The obelisk was added in 1711, and the dolphins and snakes were carved by Vincenzo Felici (active 1667-1707). Picture by Manuel Cohen
