“That's why it's not just about the migrants' cause, it's not just about them, but about all of us, about the present and the future of the human family. Migrants, especially the most vulnerable, help us to recognize the 'signs of the times'."

Maderno Fountain, St. Peter's Square

Highlight • Monument

The fountains in St. Peter's Square are two twin fountains located in the square of the same name in Rome, included in the territory of Vatican City. They are placed on the main axis of the elliptical plaza, in line with the Egyptian obelisk located in the center. These fountains are a prominent element in the architecture of the square and have been designed by two important figures: Carlo Maderno, author of the façade of St. Peter's Basilica, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the great exponent of Roman baroque and brilliant artist of Square. If you want to know more details about these sources, don't hesitate to ask. 😊

Castel Sant'Angelo (Castle of the Holy Angel)

Highlight • Castle

Castel Sant'Angelo is a monument of Rome located on the right bank of the Tiber in front of the homonymous bridge. The origins of Castel Sant'Angelo date back to 135 AD, when the emperor Hadrian commissioned the architect Demetriano to build a funeral mausoleum for himself and his family. In the following centuries up to the present day, the castle lost its function as a sepulcher and was subject to radical changes which gave it its current appearance. Today Castel Sant'Angelo is state property of the Italian State and is connected to the Vatican State through the fortified corridor of the "passetto".
