Fontana delle Arti
Fountain of the Arts
On Via Margutta the "Fontana delle Arti" can be found. The fountain has a triangular base, crowned by a bucket of paint-brushes (symbolizing the presence of artists in the area dating from the 17th century). The marble fountain was carved in 1927 with two masks placed on opposite sides, mounted over marble supports. The images feature a sad and a happy face, symbolizing the changing moods so often typical of artists.
