Fontana di Trevi in Rome. Works for the fountain begun in 1732 and ended only in 1762. The main subject is the statue of Ocean, on a shell-shaped coach pulled by two sea horses, one "placido" and the other "agitato", as a reference to the calm or rough state of the sea. The sea horses are in turn driven by tritons (sea kings). The main architect of the fountain is Nicola Salvi. The main group with Ocean, coach, horses and tritons is by Pietro Bracci (1759 - 1762). The two allegoric figures on the niches are L'Abbondanza (left) and La Salubrit� (right) both by Filippo Della Valle

Roman, born 1966, photographer by vocation, I received my long-desired first camera when I was 7 years old, a Kodak Instamatic 36, and since then photography is one of my main interests in life. I work mainly in colour, using both digital and film, and develop my colour films by myself with a Jobo CPP-2 rotary processor. My main subjects of interest are urban landscape and sculpture, photographed with an explicitly descriptive attitude. My photographs have also been published in travel guides, newspapers and text books all over the world, from the US and Brazil to Japan. Please note that the Fine Art America watermark will not show in the print you buy. This only shows in this web site.
