Fontana del Tritone

8 reviews of Fontana del Tritone

Made of travertine marble

The Tritone Fountain (Rome) is near the Trevi Fountain and was made by the great Italian Baroque master, Gianlorenzo Bernini. It's in the center of Piazza Barberini, almost in front of Palazzo Barberini. The beautiful fountain is made of travertine marble and in it the sea god Triton appears throwing a jet of water through a shell while sitting on a huge conch, sustained by 4 dolphins. It's worth stopping for a while before continuing to walk and delve into the Via Veneto that's a few meters away.

Beautiful font

This beautiful font, not to be confused with the one in the center of the Piazza Barberini (Tritone Fountain by Bernini) is in front of the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. It represents 2 Tritons and dates from 1715. It is something beautiful to behold by the enclave and the beautiful Church of Santa Maria. You can't lose.

one of the most beautiful in Rome

una delle più belle di Roma

E' una delle tante opere di Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Realizzata in travertino, la troviamo in uno dei punti del centro storico della città più interessanti. Infatti, la "fontana" è installata e fa bella modtra di se in "Piazza Barberini", uno dei crocevia, degli snodi del centro storico: da un lato la via che ha lostesso nome della piazza (Barberini); dall'altro la famosa via della "Dolce Vita" (Via Vittorio Veneto); ed ancora, "Via Sistina" (dove troviamo il famoso teatro reso celebre dall'importante attività di "Garinei&Giovannini" ed il prestigioso "Hotel Hasler") per raggiungere "Trinità dei Monti" e la sottostante "Piazza di Spagna"; "Via del Tritone" per raggiungere "Palazzo Chigi" (sede del Governo) - la "Fontana di Trevi" - la "Galleria Colonna" - "Montecitorio" (sede della Camera dei Deputati) e poco più in là il "Pantheon" e "Piazza Navona"- Ma, nella zona, ci sono molte altre cose. Tornando alla fontana, il Bernini ha raffigurato un Tritone accovacciato su una conchiglia, a sua volta sorretta dalla coda di quattro delfini. Il "tritone" soffia all'interno di una conchiglia, da lui sostenuta e dalla quale fuoriesce dell'acqua che ricade nella vasca sottostante. Il Bernini ha completato la sua opera inserendo due cose simboliche: le "chiavi", stemma dei Pontefici; le "api", stemma araldico dei Barberini.
And 'one of the many works of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Made of travertine, is found in one of the historic center of the city more interesting. In fact, the "fountain" is installed and looks good if modtra of "Piazza Barberini," one of the crossroads, the joints of the historic center: on the one hand the way that lostesso name of the square (Barberini), and second the famous because of the "Dolce Vita" (Via Vittorio Veneto) and again, "Via Sistina" (where we find the famous theater made famous by the important activities of "Garinei & Giovannini" and the prestigious "Hotel Hasler") to reach the "Spanish Steps" and the underlying "Piazza di Spagna", "Via del Tritone" to reach "Palazzo Chigi" (seat of government) - the "Fontana di Trevi" - the "Galleria Colonna" - "Deputies" (seat of the Chamber of Deputies) and just beyond the "Pantheon" and "Piazza Navona" - But, in the area, there are many other things. Returning to the fountain, Bernini has depicted a Triton perched on a shell in turn supported by four dolphins tail. The "Triton" blowing into a shell, which he supported and from which comes out of the water that falls into the basin below. Bernini completed his work using two symbolic things: the "keys", coat of arms of the Popes, and the "bees" coat of arms of the Barberini.

The Triton Fountain

La fontaine de Triton

Excellent
La place Barberini était une petite cour privée d’un palais d’une famille noble. Mais les aménagement de la place, laisse maintenant place à la circulation. C’est pour quoi la fontaine du Triton peut passer inaperçue mais si vous avez l’occasion de la voir, arrêter vous ! L’artiste Gian Lorenzo Bernini créa cette fontaine en 1643. Cette fontaine scisellée avec talent, montre le talent encore nouveau à l’époque, de créer une sculpture et d’y associer un élément mobile comme l’eau.
Piazza Barberini was a small private palace of a noble family court. But the layout of the place, now gives way to traffic. That's what the Triton Fountain can go unnoticed but if you have the opportunity to see, you stop! The artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini created this fountain in 1643. This scisellée fountain with talent, talent shows still new at the time, to create a sculpture and to associate a mobile element such as water.
