Fontana delle Rane, Decorative fountain in Piazza Mincio, Rome, Italy.

The Fountain of the Frogs features twelve amphibian sculptures, with eight positioned on the upper basin and four large ones in the lower section.

Architect Gino Coppedè designed and built this fountain in 1924 as the centerpiece of a new residential district in northeast Rome.

The fountain's design incorporates elements of Greek classicism, Baroque style, and Art Nouveau, reflecting the architectural diversity of the surrounding neighborhood.

Located at coordinates 41.9187196, 12.5023882, the fountain stands 4.5 meters tall with a lower basin diameter of 10 meters.

The fountain gained additional recognition when The Beatles reportedly jumped into its waters after performing at the nearby Piper Club.
