Fontana delle Cariati dei Quiriti, Prati

Cupola of San Gioacchino and Fontana delle Cariati on Piazza dei Quiriti, Prati Rome. The fountain was designed by Attilio Selva in 1927-28 and was considered scandalous by the Catholic Church because it depicts four female figures which the priests considered indecent. They would drape sheets over the fountains during religious processions.
