★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This strange sculpture has interesting history. In old times he was one of the "talking statues", where people left satirical comments about city government. You can also look for Marforio at Campidoglio, Lucrezia at palazzo Venezia, Pasquino near the piazza Navona.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fontana del Babuino, one of the talking fountains in Rome. The statue is an ancient depiction of a reclining Silenus: a character in Roman mythology, half man, half goat. The people of Rome christened the figure "babuino" because they considered it ugly and deformed, like a baboon, and the street was nicknamed the "via del Babuino" as a result, the name eventually becoming the official one

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A relict of medical times , when fountains were a sign of wealth and decorated nicely. This one is not aesthetically beautiful, but somehow still has its character
