The female statues by Mario Rutelli represent Naiads, water nymphs of the Oceans, Rivers , Lakes & Underground Waters, each one featured with an allegorical animal related to their environments.
Pius IX restored the Aqua Marcia in 1870, before the city fell. The new government installed the fountain , adorned by Rutelli after complaints (boring) but the Naiads then were perceived as scandalous
Great Roman site
