Fiumicino. Fountain of 5 moons

The Fontana delle Cinque Lune - fountain of 5 moons was brought from Piazza Navona in Rome.

It was originally located near the palace Piccolomini (whose coat of arms consists of a cross with five moons) and was removed for the construction of the Corso del Rinascimento.

The fountain was built by Salvatore Amato in 1928 following a competition to replace 10 fountains in cast iron with 10 artistic fountains in travertine, the typical Roman stone.
