Discovering Rome’s hidden beauties…
From Wikipedia: “Piazza Barberini is a large piazza in the city center (Centro Storico) on Quirinal Hill of Rome, Italy. It was created in the 16th century.
The current name was given in 1625 after Palazzo Barberini which is located nearby. Until the 18th century, unknown human corpses were displayed here for public identification. One of the plaza’s feature is the Triton Fountain. Another fountain nearby is the Fontana delle Api (work by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, 1627-1629) at Via Vittorio Veneto.
Between 1632 and 1822 an antique obelisk stood here but has been transferred to Villa Medici”.
