The Fountain or Happy Water Exhibition

The fountain, or Mostra dell’Acqua Felice or also the Fountain of Moses, was named after Pope Sixtus V, a.k.a. Felice Peretti: the pope’s intention was to supply the spring districts in the Viminale and Quirinale hills with water, and in particular his sumptuous and vast villa Montalto, which extended over both hills.
