Fountain of Valle Giulia

The Fountain of Valle Giulia is a decorative structure with two basins featuring sculptural details designed by architect Cesare Bazzani in the early 1900s. The water flows through carved stone elements that create a focal point within the park's landscape.

The fountain originated as part of the Universal Exposition of 1911, introducing new design approaches to the villa's grounds. Its construction marked a turning point in how the garden was developed and shaped during that period.

The fountain serves as a gathering spot where visitors and locals pause to enjoy the water and surroundings within the villa's grounds. It becomes a natural meeting point where people experience the garden's rhythm and atmosphere.

You can find the fountain by entering Villa Borghese through the Valle Giulia entrance and following the main path toward the center. The area remains accessible throughout the day and offers shade beneath the surrounding trees.

The fountain contains water management systems that maintain steady flow through both basins while supporting the garden's irrigation needs. This practical design allows the water feature to function reliably and simultaneously nourish the surrounding plants.
