The other Obelisk I had mention. This is a Bernini Sculpture. It my next post I will explain more on my love of Bernini and his work. This Fountain is call in Italian Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi which translates to Fountains of the Four Rivers. "Collectively, they represent four major rivers of the four continents through which papal authority had spread: the Nile representing Africa, the Danube representing Europe, the Ganges representing Asia, and the Plate representing South America."
