the Fountain of the Triton is located in Piazza Barberini, Rome, near the entrance to the Palazzo Barberini. It is a few blocks from Borromini's San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane. In the fountain is an over-life-size muscular Triton, a minor sea god of ancient Greco-Roman legend. He is depicted as a merman kneeling on an opened scallop shell. The decorative sculptures on the Barberini Triton fountain consist of a gigantic eagle dominating the summit of the composition, seemingly having just emerged from the cavern beneath. On the far sides, two colossal dragons face each other from their caves. At the mouths of two more caves, there are two groups: on the right a "dolphin with boy," and on the left, a "dolphin with girl." The first group features a Triton astride a large dolphin while the second consists of a nymph seated on a large dolphin that is spurting out water.
The Fontana delle Api, or Fountain of the Bees, is a fountain located in the Piazza Barberini in Rome where the piazza meets Via Sistina. It was completed in April 1644. It consists of a marble bi-valve shell with three bees of the same material resting on it. The fountain was intended to be a watering trough for horses. A little fountain that stood in the niche that used to close off the entrance hall of Palazzo Barberini and at the back of the hallway was an open shell in which a Sun sprayed out a veil of water, and a "Great Bee" about 67.5cm long. In addition, there were two full tortoises and two halves (one on each of the four sides), as big as the Great Bee, poured water into the lower half of the shell. The niche and the area around the fountain were scattered with rock formations.
Lastly, we have Fontana della Barcaccia or Fountain of the Old Boat. This is a Baroque fresh-water fountain in Rome, Italy in the Piazza di Spagna, just below the Spanish Steps. It is so named because it is in the shape of a half-sunken ship with water overflowing its bows.
