Fontana della Piazza dei Quiriti, Travertine fountain with caryatids in Prati district, Rome, Italy
The fountain features four female figures supporting the upper basin with their heads while seated on blocks in the central structure.
Attilio Selva constructed this fountain in 1928 following a competition launched by Rome's administration to build decorative water features in new neighborhoods.
The fountain's female sculptures sparked discussions about public art representation, leading to a delayed inauguration from April to May 1928.
Located at coordinates 41.90937, 12.46447, the fountain stands near the Church of St. Joachim and remains accessible through Rome's public transportation system.
Each female figure wears a round cushion on her head, recalling the traditional method of carrying water containers in Mediterranean regions.
