OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
( Barberini) More a traffic thoroughfare than a place to linger, this noisy square is named
after the Barberini family, one of Rome's great dynastic clans. In the centre, the Bernini-de-
signed Fontana del Tritone OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP (Fountain of the Triton) depicts the sea-
god Triton blowing a stream of water from a conch while seated in a large scallop shell
supported by four dolphins. Bernini also crafted the Fontana delle Api OFFLINE MAP
GOOGLE MAP (Fountain of the Bees) in the northeastern corner, again for the Barberini fam-
ily, whose crest features three bees in flight.
