(right-below) Fontana del Fiume
Villa Mattei had many fountains, two of which were by Bernini.
But we know of them only through descriptions and etchings because the gardens were modified several times during the XIXth century when baroque fountains were regarded as a sign of bad taste.
La Fontana del Fiume is the only fountain which has survived.
