Project Description

Piazza Mattei

Piazza Mattei is a small square in the middle of the block of buildings that once belonged to the powerful Mattei Family.

At the centre of the square there is the Fountain of the Turtles, designed by Giacomo Della Porta, who then commissioned Taddeo Landini to create the four Ephebes (young men), whereas the turtles are attributed to Bernini and were added later during restoration of the fountain.
