Fountain of the Tritons, Baroque fountain on Piazza Bocca della Verità, Rome, Italy.
The Fountain of the Tritons features two kneeling triton figures holding a seashell basin atop an octagonal pool made of travertine stone.
Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri designed this fountain in the early 18th century under the commission of Pope Clement XI Albani, drawing inspiration from Bernini's work.
The fountain's eight-pointed star shape represents Pope Clement XI's coat of arms, while the water flows from the Albani family heraldic emblems.
Visitors can reach the fountain by taking Metro line B to Circo Massimo station and walking five minutes to Piazza Bocca della Verità.
Four decorative masks once adorned the fountain's sides, but these ornamental elements were removed during renovations in the 20th century.
