Fountains of Rome / text by Mario Sanfilippo ; photographs by Francesco Venturi.

New York, NY : Vendome Press : Distributed in the USA and Canada by Rizzoli, 1996.

191 pages : color illustrations, map ; 31 cm

There is not a single great piazza in Rome unadorned by a magnificent fountain. In this lavish, all-color book, the fountains are described one by one, starting with their commission and creation, and continuing with stylistic and scientific analysis. Maps and period documents complete a remarkable and historical survey, giving us an enthralling glimpse of the story behind these masterpieces. The Fountains of Rome does not attempt to cover all the water monuments of Rome; instead, it is the personal choice of one of the most sensitive and creative photographers of our time, who spent several years on this wonderful project, a work to thrill historians, architects, designers, artists, and all devoted travelers to one of the world's most beautiful - and visited - cities.
