2024.02.17.005 ROME - Place de la République

            Le projet du sculpteur palermitain Mario Rutelli, achevé et inauguré en 1901, se composait de quatre figures féminines nues en bronze représentant des scènes de nymphes : la Nymphe des Lacs, reconnaissable au cygne qu'elle tient contre elle, la Nymphe des Fleuves, couchée sur un monstre aquatique, la Nymphe des Eaux souterraines, allongée sur un dragon, et la Nymphe des Océans3, en selle sur un cheval, symbole de la mer. Un grand jet d'eau tombe sur les statues, tandis qu'une nombreuse série de petits jets d'eau est dirigée vers l'intérieur.
En 1912, enfin, la fontaine a pris son aspect actuel, avec l'arrangement, dans le centre du groupe du Glauco, où un personnage masculin, nu, saisit un dauphin, symbolisant la domination de l'homme sur les forces naturelles. 

The project by Palermo sculptor Mario Rutelli, completed and inaugurated in 1901, consisted of four nude female figures in bronze depicting scenes of nymphs: the Nymph of the Lakes, recognisable by the swan she holds against her, the Nymph of the Rivers, reclining on a water monster, the Nymph of the Subterranean Waters, reclining on a dragon, and the Nymph of the Oceans3, riding a horse, the symbol of the sea. A large jet of water falls on the statues, while a series of smaller jets of water are directed inwards.
Finally, in 1912, the fountain took on its current appearance, with the arrangement in the centre of the Glauco group of a nude male figure holding a dolphin, symbolising man's domination over natural forces.
