The Triton Fountain (Fontana del Tritone) is not on the scale of Rome’s most popular water feature, the Trevi Fountain, however its certainly justified regardless of a visit. Situated in bustling Piazza Barberini, Fontana del Tritone was commissioned by Pope Urban VIII and cut by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, whose florid sculptures also show up in St. Peter's Basilica. Poised outside the stately Palazzo Barberini, Fontana del Tritone was commissioned by Pope Urban VIII, Bernini's supporter, to give water sourced from the Acqua Felice reservoir conduit. The sculpture features the legendary figure of Triton, who balances on seashells and blows a conch: a reference to Ovid's Metamorphoses wherein Triton causes an extraordinary flood to subside.
