 Fountain of Cupid The Fountain of Cupid (Fontana del Cupido, c. 1855)), in Villa Doria Pamphilj (Rome's largest park) was constructed out of pre-existent elements and is the work of the Roman architect Andrea Busiri Vici (1818-1911).
Unfortunately, the statue of Cupid, which gave the fountain its name, is no longer present. Comments are closed.
