The tour will begin at our office and head to Piazza Venezia, where you can admire the impressive "Altare della Patria." This monumental structure, which showcases Italy's national unity, was initiated in 1885 and completed in 1911, designed by architects Gaetano Koch, Manfredo Manfredi, and Pio Piacentini.
The fountains designed by Sacconi, which beautifully symbolize the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas, are celebrated for their perfect symmetry and artistic elegance, reflecting the essence of Italy's rich maritime heritage. Each fountain serves as a stunning tribute to the coastal connection of the country, drawing visitors to appreciate both the craftsmanship and the cultural significance behind them.
The Turtle Fountain is indeed a remarkable piece of Italian Renaissance art. Located in Rome, Italy, it features four bronze turtles surrounded by dolphins, situated on shell-shaped tanks, adding to its unique charm. This work of art, completed by Giacomo della Porta, showcases the skill and creativity of the Baroque period, with its intricate details and ornate style.
