Fontana della terrina, Public fountain at Chiesa Nuova, Rome, Italy
The Fontana della Terrina features an oval basin with a large travertine lid, resembling the shape of a soup container in front of Chiesa Nuova.
Constructed in 1595 under Pope Gregory XII, the fountain originally stood in Campo de' Fiori before its relocation to Chiesa Nuova in 1924.
The fountain's lid bears an inscription in Italian that translates to 'Love God and do not fail, do good and let them speak' from 1622.
Located along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, this water source provides fresh drinking water from the ancient Vergine aqueduct system of Rome.
During Renaissance celebrations, the fountain temporarily dispensed wine instead of water, creating a focal point for public festivities in the square.
