The Triton fountain is located in Rome in Piazza Barberini. It is the work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, to whom it was commissioned by Pope Urban VIII Barberini, as part of the overall refurbishment of the palace that the pontiff had built in 1625 and of the square it overlooked. The Triton fountain, entirely sculpted in travertine, is made up of a low-height mixed-line basin located at ground level, above which are placed four open-mouthed dolphins that elegantly emerge from the water. The latter, turning their tails and intertwining them, hold a large open bivalve shell, in the center of which the sea god Triton stands imposing. The Triton, with a powerful and erect trunk and legs covered with scales, tilts his head back in the act of blowing into a large cone-shaped shell powerfully straight with his arms; unlike traditional tritons, usually depicted with monstrous connotations, the Berninian statue has a more human aspect. In any case, a copious gush of water emerges from the buccina (or spiral shell) held by Triton which, dripping from the grooves of the shell, sprinkles and absorbs the whole work and finally collects in the pool below. Two papal coats of arms with the three bees, heraldic symbol of the Barberini family, are artistically intertwined between the tails of the dolphins.
