Fontana di piazzetta San Simeone, Renaissance fountain in Piazzetta San Simeone, Rome, Italy.
The fountain displays a circular basin with an elevated smaller cup supported by a central column adorned with four decorative masks spouting water.
Originally located in Piazza Montanara near Teatro di Marcello, the fountain was moved to Giardino degli Aranci in 1932 before reaching its current location in 1973.
Giacomo della Porta designed this fountain in 1589, incorporating Renaissance architectural elements that represented the water management priorities of 16th century Rome.
The fountain stands on a circular sidewalk in Piazzetta San Simeone, providing a reference point for visitors exploring the Rione V - Ponte district.
In 1829, the lower basin underwent renovation, receiving new emblems of the Conservatori and Priore dei Caporioni carved along its edges.
