Fontana del Moro (Fountain of the Moor) is a fountain located at the southern end of the Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy. It depicts a nautical scene with tritons, dolphins, and a conch shell.[1] It was originally designed by Giacomo della Porta in the 1570s with later contributions from Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 1650s.[1] Bernini sculpted a large terracotta model of the central figure, which Giovanni Antonio Mari used as a guide when sculpting the final figure.[2][3] There is a debate around whether or not the central figure was intended by Bernini to depict a Moor.[4] Some of the original sculptures were moved to the Galleria Borghese in 1874.[1] In 2011, the fountain was vandalized.[5]
