Fontana del Viminale, Drinking fountain in Piazza del Viminale, Rome.
The Fontana del Viminale features a mixtilinear basin positioned below street level, with water cascading from a large quadrangular upper basin.
Architect Publio Morbiducci designed this fountain in 1929, adapting a project originally intended for Piazza Mastro Giorgio in the Testaccio district.
The fountain base displays bas-reliefs depicting the Capitoline Wolf, turreted crown, and hills representing the emblem of Rione Monti district.
This fountain belongs to Rome's network of 2,500 public water sources, providing free drinking water tested 250,000 times annually for quality assurance.
The fountain stands before Palazzo del Viminale, constructed between 1911 and 1919 as the headquarters of Italy's Ministry of the Interior.
