Camilo A. PosadaCamilo A. Posada
This morning, I found myself in Piazza della Bocca della Verità, and as I approached the fountain, I was momentarily confused. At first glance, I thought it was Bernini’s famous Fontana del Tritone from Piazza Barberini. The depiction of Tritons, the dynamic pose, and the overall grandeur seemed so familiar. But then, as I looked around and realized I was standing near the Temple of Hercules Victor and the Bocca della Verità, it dawned on me that I was in front of the Fontana dei Tritoni, a distinct and equally fascinating work. This fountain, created by Carlo Bizzaccheri in 1717, belongs to the Late Baroque/Early Rococo period, during the papacy of Clement XI Albani. It features two powerful Tritons kneeling back-to-back, hoisting a massive seashell from which water flows. While it shares the mythological theme and dynamism of Bernini’s Baroque style, it reflects a transition toward the more ornamental and decorative tendencies of the Rococo period. Its location in this historic piazza, surrounded by ancient landmarks, adds to its charm. Seeing it partially covered for restoration felt like a rare glimpse into the hidden work that goes into preserving such treasures. It’s moments like these, when history meets the present, that remind me why wandering through Rome always feels like discovering layers of time—sometimes confusing, but always magical.

Visited September 2013 - Fontana dei Tritoni (1715). Commissioned by Pope Clement XI, whose coat of arms crowns the basin, the fountain was placed here in a puzzling setting: a low-lying, flood-prone quarter between the Circus Maximus and the River Tiber, then littered with spoil and sparsely inhabited. Why Clement chose this site remains uncertain, but its presence helped monumentalise an otherwise marginal stretch of Rome. Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri’s design, with twin tritons straining under an oyster shell, echoes the dramatic naturalism popularised by Bernini’s Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi. Rising from a rugged base, it stages the sea-spirits in theatrical exertion, both mythic and muscular. Tonight, it is simply beautiful.

Nella Roma di inizio Settecento, l’antica area del Foro Boario era ancora scarsamente popolata. Anche se era soggetta alle frequenti inondazioni del Tevere, era perÃ˛ ricchissima di testimonianze di epoca medievale e romana, come il grande Arco di Giano, e già servita da una diramazione dell’Aqua Felice, il primo acquedotto costruito in città da un pontefice. In occasione dei lavori di risistemazione della piazza antistante la chiesa di Santa Maria in Cosmedin, che ospita la famosissima Bocca della Verità, Papa Clemente XI Albani volle quindi lasciare anche in questa parte della città un proprio segno, con la realizzazione di una fontana a pochi passi dal tempio di Ercole Vincitore. L’11 agosto del 1717 venne cosÃŦ posta la prima pietra della nuova Fontana dei Tritoni. Il progetto era stato affidato all’architetto Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri che si ispirÃ˛, sia nel soggetto rappresentato sia nello stile, alla Fontana del Tritone di Gian Lorenzo Bernini in piazza Barberini. In omaggio al committente, la vasca principale della fontana fu perÃ˛ disegnata come un ottagono con i lati concavi, in modo da ricordare la stella a otto punte che caratterizzava lo stemma della famiglia Albani da cui proveniva il pontefice. Nella vasca, sopra un grande scoglio centrale ornato da ciuffi di vegetazione, due tritoni inginocchiati, scolpiti da Francesco Moratti, sorreggono un’ampia conchiglia a forma di ostrica con funzione di catino, sul cui bordo esterno campeggiano altri due stemmi araldici della famiglia Albani e al cui centro zampilla l’acqua. Sui bordi della vasca, secondo il progetto originale, erano stati collocati quattro mascheroni, poi rimossi nell’Ottocento forse per mancanza d’acqua. Stessa sorte toccÃ˛ agli inizi del Novecento al fontanile attiguo che il pontefice aveva fatto costruire a servizio dei cittadini e delle mandrie di bestiame che transitano verso il vicino Foro romano: smontato in occasione dei lavori per la costruzione dei muraglioni del Tevere fu trasferito nel vicino lungotevere Aventino.

Fontana dei Tritoni. Da Wikipedia l'enciclopedia libera.

La fontana dei Tritoni si trova a Roma, in piazza della Bocca della Verità, di fronte alla basilica di Santa Maria in Cosmedin. La realizzazione, fin dal 1610, dell'ultimo acquedotto dell'”Acqua Paola” non aveva fatto passare in secondo piano i due costruiti qualche anno prima (l'”Acqua Vergine” nel 1570 e l'“Acqua Felice” nel 1587), e la possibilità di erigere altre fontane sulle loro diramazioni che erano state costruite per una distribuzione idrica piÚ capillare sull'intera città. Un ramo secondario dell'Acqua Felice raggiungeva infatti anche la zona poco piÚ a sud dell'isola Tiberina, dove, tra monumenti di epoca romana e medievale (l'arco degli Argentari, l'arco di Giano, il tempio di Ercole Vincitore, il tempio di Portuno e la basilica di Santa Maria in Cosmedin) papa Clemente XI volle che venisse edificato anche un monumento a sua memoria. In effetti non ha chiare motivazioni la ragione per cui il pontefice volle erigere la fontana in un'area poco abitata, abbastanza impervia e soggetta alle inondazioni del Tevere. La sua realizzazione suscitÃ˛ infatti nei contemporanei diverse critiche per la scelta ritenuta poco felice della sua dislocazione. Fu ultimata nel 1715 dall'architetto Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri in occasione dei lavori di sistemazione della piazza davanti alla basilica. L'intera struttura, in travertino, è posta su un gradino circolare (delimitato da 16 colonnine unite da un'inferriata), all'interno del quale il disegno della vasca principale rappresenta un ottagono con i lati concavi o, se si preferisce, la stella a otto punte simbolo araldico della famiglia del pontefice (gli Albani). Al centro un gruppo di rocce (un elemento che riscosse un notevole successo dopo la fontana dei Quattro Fiumi) con ciuffi di vegetazione sul quale sono inginocchiati, con le code avvinghiate tra loro, due tritoni (opera di Francesco Moratti) con le braccia alzate che sorreggono sulle spalle una grande valva di ostrica con la funzione di catino sommitale, al cui centro zampilla l'acqua dal trimonzio. Tra i due tritoni lo stemma pontificio. Originariamente quattro mascheroni gettavano acqua nella vasca principale, eliminati nel XIX secolo forse per la scarsità d'acqua che alimentava la fontana e che li avrebbe probabilmente lasciati asciutti. La fontana è infatti rimasta per molto tempo a secco, ma negli ultimi anni è stata ripristinata l'alimentazione idrica, sebbene piuttosto scarsa. Gli ultimi restauri risalgono...
