italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Greetings, Folks:
I'm a researcher and writer investigating the story of the
Fountain of the Four Moors, in the center of MARINO
(LAZIO), outside ROMA.
The statue/fountain depicts 2 African women and 2 African
men (the men armed with scimitars), and was sculpted in
the years following the Battle of Lepanto in 1571.
I would like to see this Fountain restored and document
its history - or locate existing documentation - including
its connection to 'la storia' of the Battle of Lepanto.
Grazie...
Marian Douglas
