Il nudo maschile nella statuaria italiana all'aperto: Bernini, fontana del Moro (1654), Piazza Navona, Roma

Speranza

Giacomo della Porta created the fountain with sculpted tritons in 1574-1576, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini redesigned it 1654, adding the central statue "il Moro", an Ethiopian fighting a dolphin. The fountain (here seen from the east) is situated in the south of Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy.
