Fontana della Piazza dei Quiriti

Italy

The Fontana della Piazza dei Quiriti is a fountain in the Piazza dei Quiriti in Rome, in the middle of the Prati rione. The plaza is named after the inhabitants of the city of Cures, the Curites or later Quirites, namely the Sabines, who became inhabitants and co-founders of Rome. Another theory derives the name from the god Quirinus, a Roman deity. The fountain was constructed in 1928 by sculptor Attilio Selva, and includes female caryatid sculptures.
