Massive statues - rather more fun than some. Great for a photo opportunity. Make sure you also have a gelato in your hand!
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) is a fountain in the Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy. It was designed in 1651 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini for Pope Innocent X whose family palace, the Palazzo Pamphili, faced onto the piazza as did the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone of which Innocent was the sponsor.The base of the fountain is a basin from the centre of which travertine rocks rise to support four river gods and above them, an ancient Egyptian obelisk surmounted with the Pamphili family emblem of a dove with an olive twig. Collectively, they represent four major rivers of the four continents through which papal authority had spread: the Nile representing Africa, the Danube representing Europe, the Ganges representing Asia, and the Río de la Plata representing America.
Lovely town square with plenty of fountain photo ops. Really nice place to grab a coffee and people watch.
四河喷泉可能是Bernini的代表作之一,也可能是他做得最糟糕的一件作品,这取决于你的看法。位于生机勃勃的纳佛那广场中心,无论在夏天或冬天,它都吸引着人们的注意。2年前,我们第一次来这里观赏,但在2008年2月,我们发现它被脚手架包围着。它非常宏伟,而它确实需要适当的清洁和整修。如果你打算来观赏,你应该知道到你必须透过脚手架上的小窗户来观赏。
Walk around and view this from every angle. The detail is amazing. Examine the head of the horse and then walk to the other side of the fountain and view the horse's hind quarters. Every time I view the fountain I find a new feature. Also, get a gelato at the shop right behind the fountain. I think it is among the very best.
四河喷泉也是贝尼尼的作品,不过和圣天使桥、圣彼得广场那样的对称结构相比,四河喷泉的变化更加多样,为巴洛克艺术的代表。方尖碑下的四尊雕像代表着那时候人们心中四大洲的四条河:非洲的尼罗河、亚洲的恒河、欧洲的多瑙河、美洲的拉普塔拉河。Dan Brown的<天使与魔鬼>中把这里写成了一个"科学祭坛"
四河喷泉是罗马城另一处著名的喷泉。喷泉坐落在广场的正中,喷泉的人物雕塑异常精美,坐在喷泉的池边,享受阳光,看着四周流动的人群,感觉太爽了,周边还有很多吃饭的餐馆,在这里消磨半天的时光值得。
