Fontana del Moses

Picture of the Fontana del Moses, near the piaza Barberini. The fountain depicting Moses was erected in 1588 by Fontana to celebrate reactivation of the ancient aqueduct bringing to Rome Acqua Alessandrina, executed by Sixtus V (Felice Peretti), from who the present name of this water derives: Acqua Felice.
