The monumental fountain formally known as the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola is referred by more casually by locals as the fontanone, "the big fountain." Located on the Janiculum Hill, the fancy watering hole boasts a baroque background of marble finery. It is fronted by six columns - two in grey granite and four in red granite, and five arches. All the materials used for construction were scavenged from ancient ruins, as was the custom of the time. It's considered one of the most romantic spots in Rome. #fridaysfountain #fridayfacts #janiculumhill #scavangedstone #fontanadellacquapaola #romance #fontanone #romaitalia #igrome #igitalia #traveladventures #solotravel #solotraveller (at Fontana dell'Acqua Paola) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9HV7DHBfUC/?igshid=12y42bhnptomq
