EDITORS COMMENTS
The Romulus and Remus Fountain, located in the heart of Rome's Piazza del Popolo, is a stunning representation of ancient Roman mythology and history. This breathtaking view showcases the Fontana della Dea Roma, or the Fountain of the Goddess Roma, which was designed by Giuseppe Valadier in 1812. The goddess Roma is depicted in the sculpture, armed with a lance and helmet, symbolizing the strength and power of the Roman Empire. At the foot of the goddess, a small sculpture of the she-wolf feeding Romulus and Remus adds a touch of mythological charm to the scene. According to the Roman myth, Romulus and Remus were the twin brothers who were raised by a she-wolf after being abandoned at birth. The brothers went on to found the city of Rome, making this fountain a symbol of the city's rich history and founding mythology. The Piazza del Popolo, which translates to "People's Square," has been a popular gathering place since ancient times. The square has undergone numerous transformations throughout history, but the Romulus and Remus Fountain remains a beloved and iconic feature. The intricate details of the sculpture, from the goddess Roma's flowing robes to the expressions on the faces of Romulus and Remus, make this a must-see attraction for visitors to Rome. The Romulus and Remus Fountain is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the enduring power of Roman mythology and history. As you stand in Piazza del Popolo and take in the view of this magnificent fountain, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the rich history and culture that surrounds you in Rome.
