Description
The Dan Brown book “Angels and Demons”, as well as the movie of the same name with Tom Hanks, is set in Rome Italy and many of the big scenes in the book/movie take place at very familiar Rome landmarks. The Fontana die Quattro Fiumi (or Four Rivers Fountain) in Piazza Navona is one of those sites figuring prominently in the gruesome plots twists. So when I went to Piazza Navona before sunrise one morning to photograph the fountains before the many tourists arrived, it felt a little bit eerie! I couldn’t resist a peek in the fountain just to assure myself there were no bodies there. Having established that, I set about with my camera! The Four Rivers Fountain is set in the foreground, topped by the Obelisk of Domitian. Behind is the Church of Sant’Agnese in Agone, and the moon setting in the background. It’s hard to get enough of this fountain, designed by the famous Gian Lorenzo Bernini. But eventually, I made my way to the other two fountains in the piazza for some photos: the Fontana del Moro (Fountain of the Moor), and the Fontana del Nettuno (Fountain of Neptune).
