Roma - Fontane

Via Straderari
Fontana dei Libri

The Fontanella dei Libri was constructed in 1927 in travertino following the designs of Pietro Lombardi for the quarter of St.Eustacchio and it is for this reason that the district symbol of a deer's head appears in the niche surrounded by four antique books perhaps recalling the nearby Sapienza University. Inside the basin is written the name of the district with an incorrect numerical referral: IV instead of VIII.
