Descend from the Terrazza del Pincio at Pincio Gardens (background) to the oval-shaped Piazza del Popolo. Then admire the Goddess of Rome Fountain. In the center is Roma, the personification of the city. Origins of this deity are from 195 BC. Flanking her are allegories for the Tiber and Aniene, the two rivers that converge in Rome. At Roma’s feet is the she-wolf suckling the twins Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. This marble sculptural grouping was created by Giovanni Ceccarini from 1818 to 1824.
