Piazza dei Quiriti, Public square with fountain in Prati district, Rome, Italy
The square contains a central fountain adorned with four female statues created by sculptor Attilio Selva in 1928 at its center point.
The square was established in 1929 during a period of urban development in Rome, taking its name from the ancient Roman citizens known as Quirites.
The fountain caused controversy upon its installation due to the nude female figures, leading to political repercussions in the municipal government.
The square sits at coordinates 41.909236 latitude and 12.4645 longitude, near the Saint Joachim Church and Piazza Cavour in central Rome.
The term Quirites originally referred to the inhabitants of Cures, who were Sabine people that became early cofounders of Rome.
