FONTANA DELLE TARTARUGHE - ITALY, ROME
Piazza Mattei is famous for its Costaguti palace. But even more for its beautiful fountain Tartarughice: the fountain of turtles. The Fontana delle Tartarughe is a fountain of the late Italian Renaissance.
In 1585, the architect Taddeo Landini built a fountain made up of four big conches, surmounted by four ephebes, one foot resting on bronze dolphins. A small basin surmounts the whole.

The Fontana delle Tartarughe is a fountain of the late Italian Renaissance, located in Piazza Mattei, in the Sant'Angelo district of Rome, Italy. It was built between 1580 and 1588 by the architect Giacomo della Porta and the sculptor Taddeo Landini. The bronze turtles around the upper basin, usually attributed either to Gian Lorenzo Bernini or Andrea Sacchi, were added in either 1658 or 1659 when the fountain was restored.
The Fontana delle Tatarughe, like all Renaissance fountains, was designed to supply drinking water to the Roman population. It was one of a group of eighteen new fountains built in Rome in the sixteenth century following the restoration of a ruined first century Roman acqueduct, the Acqua Vergine, by Pope Gregory XIII.
The Acqua Vergine had been one of the first Roman aqueducts, opened by Marcus Agrippa, a chief aide of emperor Augustus, in 19 b.c.. It carried water from the village of Salone in the Alban Hills, nine miles north of Rome, and ended in a fountain near the Pantheon.[1] It was known for the purity of its water. The aqueduct was destroyed by the Visigoths in the 6th century, then partially restored by Pope Adrian I (772-795) in the 8th century. Through the Middle Ages it was the only acqueduct supplying drinking water to Roman fountains; the rest of the city's drinking water came from the Tiber River.

A Fonte das Tartarugas ou Fontana delle Tartarughe é uma das mais belas fontes de Roma, sob o ponto de vista artístico, projetada por Giacomo Della Porta ( 1540 - 1602 ), e executada, provavelmente, por Taddeo Landini. Outros atribuem a criação a Rafael Sanzio.
Admira-se quatro rapazes, que seguram com a mão e um pé, quatro golfinhos, enquanto, com a outra mão, seguram quatro pequenas tartarugas no ato de beberem na concha superior.
A fonte encontra-se na Praça Mattei, meio estrangulada entre severos palácios, ao ingresso do antigo Ghetto, antigo bairro judeu em Roma.

Fontana delle Tartarughe, piazza Mattei, Roma
La fontana è stata realizzata tra il 1581 e il 1588, su progetto di Giacomo della Porta e con l’intervento dello scultore fiorentino Taddeo Landini.
Le quattro tartarughe - poste sul bordo della vasca superiore - attribuite a Gian Lorenzo Bernini, furono aggiunte nel corso del restauro del 1658-59, compiuto durante il pontificato di Alessandro VII, come ricordato dalle iscrizioni sui quattro cartigli marmorei.
