Painters have immortalized them; poets have rhapsodized over them; and composers have arranged them' - here, Pulvers is referring to the wonderful array of fountains found in Rome. The huge catalogue that occupies most of the book is arranged alphabetically and clearly illustrates the huge variety of shapes, sizes and materials, and the diversity of design and style. Each entry has a short description, details on location and a black and white photograph or two. A superbly illustrated book that unfortunately is too large and heavy to accompany your visit to Rome.
