If you are in Rome walking along the streets which link Piazza Sant'Augusto Imperatore with the streets symbol of luxury shopping, you could find a very characteristic and funny fountain. As you can see in the photo above, fresh water spouts from the mouth of a chubby guy in a large shell and finally ends up in a semicircular basin below wedged between the rocks.

The funny fountain - which is named Fountain of Clement XIV or Botticella - was carved in a niche created in 1774 in the heart of Rome where today you can see many shops of famous Italian and international brands
