FOUNTAIN OF THE SMALL BOAT

FONTANA DELLA NAVICELLA
Assembled in 1931 using a "Marble model of a Roman ship" copy of a votive offerings from the nearby Castra Peregrina (area of S. Stefano Rotondo)
The ancient Roman piece of marble was placed on a base with the coat of arms of Leo X Medici (1513/21) who had restored S. Maria in Domnica
