Santa Maria Maggiore
Built over the pagan temple of Cybele, Santa Maria Maggiore is the only Roman basilica that retained the core of its original structure, left intact despite several additional construction projects and damage from the earthquake of 1348. This is the largest and most important place of prayer dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Bernini's "Fountain of the Four Rivers", Piazza Navona
Fontana Del Nettuno
This fountain, placed in the northern part of Piazza Navona in Rome, was also restored by Bernini but remained for three hundred years without statues and decoration. In 1873 Antonio Della Bitta won the competition to carve the statue of Neptune, whilst Gregorio Zappalà carved the group aroun the basin: sea-horses, mermaids and putti playing with the dolphins. Work was completed in 1878.
