PIAZZA
NAVONA It
rises on the ancient Domitian Stadium, whose
elliptic shape it maintains. It is of one
of the most beautiful and most famous squares
in Rome, in which you can admire masterpieces
by artists like Bernini,
Borromini e Giacomo Della Porta, who were
among the most important exponents of Baroque
Art.
In
the square there are three magnificent fountains:
the central one, the Rivers' Fountain made
by Bernini who built it as a base for the
Egyptian obelisk here transferred from Maxentius
Circus; the lateral ones, Moor's Fountain
and Calderoni's Fountain, that were designed
by Giacomo Della Porta before Bernini built
the memorable central fountain. In the center
of the square, in front of the berninian
fountain, the Church of St. Agnes in Agone
stands, made by G. Rainaldi and Borromini;
it represents a magnificent example of Baroque
building. Within the church you can see
in the basements the ruins of the original
church and of Domitian's Stadium.
The place, one of the most frequented in
Rome, both by tourists and Romans, is a
meeting-place that welcomes thousands of
people till very late at night, offering,
in the neighborhoods, night-clubs and restaurants
of all sorts; the wine shops of the area
are quite famous.
