Giardini di Valle Giulia e Scalinata

Park · Pinciano, Italy

The gardens and the flight of steps that link Villa Borghese down to Valle Giulia and the museums on viale delle Belle Arti. On the steps stand the two Fontane delle Tartarughe di Valle Giulia, at the Esedra Petar II Petrovic Njegos and the Esedra Giulio Carlo Argan. They are a different work from the Fontana delle Tartarughe in piazza Mattei, in the rione Sant'Angelo.

History

Cesare Bazzani designed the two Fontane delle Tartarughe di Valle Giulia in 1910 and they were built for the 1911 Esposizione nazionale; they were restored, together with the squares around them, in 2004.
