1590 Giacomo Della Porta (1533/1602) for Gregory XIII Boncompagni (1572/85) originally in Piazza Campo de' Fiori
It was put in storage to make room for the monument to Giordano Bruno from 1889 until 1924 when it was placed here
The huge travertine cover that has come to characterize it as a bowl was added in 1622 to protect it from dirt
