  • Piazza Mattei, named after an important family of the Middle Ages, hosts the Tortoise Fountain. One of the most beautiful fountains in Rome, it was designed by Giacomo Della Porta at the end of the 16th century. The tortoises were added in 1658 by Bernini.

     Nice page. Piazza Venezia; not Venetia. Ciao!

     Nice page with excellent photos! Reading your page reminds me of how much we did not see this past summer. Must return to Rome! Thanks for visiting my St. Petersburg pages -- I loved St. Petersburg!
