THE PANTHEON FOUNTAIN IS BACK!

The Pantheon Fountain is back!
After 7 months of maintenance work, with a specific procedure regarding cleaning, repair of any damaged or missing parts, and colour appearance operations, the fountain was reopened to the public with a special speech by Rome’s Major Roberto Gualtieri.

This fountain was thought for the Jubilee of 1575: immediately after the restoration of the famous aqueduct of the Aqua Virgo, completed in 1570, a secondary underground branch of the conduit began to be made, to reach the area of the ancient Campo Marzio, one of the most populated areas of Rome. As a consequence, the construction of several fountains was also planned, such as the one in Popolo Square and the two at the extremities of Piazza Navona (the fountains “del Moro” and “del Nettuno”).
At that point, in 1575, Pope Gregory XIII commissioned Giacomo Della Porta to design the fountain of Piazza della Rotonda, in front of the Pantheon, whose sculptural realization was entrusted to Leonardo Sormani.

After 450 years, for another Jubilee, the Pantheon Fountain gains new life, with its brilliant white marble at your disposal.
