"Vatican fountain attracted my attention with the head of a man. On the lower side of the wall there is a precaution sign telling not to drink from it. Many ancient aqueducts in Rome are still working and are available for drinking, but some of them are already not. Your attention may be caught by the gigantic pine cone-shaped sculpture, originally located near the Temple of Isis. Before being moved, in 1608, to the nowadays location, that is, Cortile della Pigna (which is, in fact, a section of Bramante’s Cortile del Belvedere), the cone used to adorn the courtyard of the Saint Peter’s Basilica."
