Turtle Fountain Review

🌟 You can see a variety of fountains on the streets of Rome. The turtle fountain is not a scenic spot, and the popularity in the hearts of tourists is not high. However, I checked it when I passed by, and took pictures. 📷 Leave a note 🌟 The fountain itself is relatively small and exquisite. It was created by the Matthew family for the family square. The lower half of the sculpture is four women (?? Are you sure it is a woman [laughs and tears]) sitting on the dolphin, and the turtle at the top is actually added later. It is slightly different from the rest of the sculpture. But after adding it, it is not inconsistent, and it is more cute. The turtle has become the protagonist of the entire sculpture.

This fountain has a long history. It was a Renaissance fountain. It was a very interesting shape. It was a little girl sitting on a dolphin, holding a plate and spraying water out of a fountain.

Fontane delle Tartarughe is an Italian fountain in the late Renaissance, located in Piazza Mattei, Rome, Italy. Built between 1580 and 1588 by architect Giacomo della Porta and sculptor Taddeo Landini of Porta, the bronze tortoise is usually considered the work of Jean Benigni or Andre Saki. [1]

Tortoise Fountain Introduction: The Tortoise Fountain was built by Matthew family for its family square. It was designed by Della Borta. The carving of four women sitting on the dolphin's head came from Tadio Randini's hand. The tortoise is traditionally designed by Benigni, and some people think it is his student's work.

My hometown has turtle Zhenjiang to prevent floods, so I also like the turtle fountain.
