Fontana del Mascherone (Fountain of the Mask)
Via Giulia
Rome, June 2019
“The Fontana del Mascherone (fountain of the Mask) is a fountain in Via Giulia created in the seventeenth century for the Farnese family. Water flows from the mouth of a large face, which probably dates from the Roman era. It is said that when the Farnese family held large feasts, wine would pour out of the fountain all day long.” (Fountains in Rome, A View on Cities)
