Piazza Navona is one of Rome's most famous and elegant squares, renowned for its Baroque atmosphere and impressive architecture. Located on the former site of Domitian's stadium, it retains the elliptical shape of the ancient arena and boasts magnificent fountains and sculptures. Among the masterpieces that adorn this square is the Fountain of the Four Rivers, a work by Gian Lorenzo Bernini that represents the great rivers of four continents. The statue you see here is part of this fountain and illustrates the excellence of Baroque art, where every detail of the human body and natural elements is magnified. Tourists and Romans alike gather in Piazza Navona to admire the colourful facades, stroll by the fountains and enjoy the bustling life of the square, with its street artists, café terraces and the eternal charm of the Eternal City.
