These distinctive cylindrical fountains are situated in many of the town's piazzas and streets . The drinking water they dispense is the same as has been distributed by Acea to Roman households for around 100 years.
Acea has always taken care of this precious historical and social heritage renowned throughout the world, created to bring drinking water to the town's borgate (residential areas).
In the capital's historic centre there are also about ninety artistic fountains and drinking fountains, all of which supply potable water.
One of the most famous is the little wall-mounted fountain in Via della Fontanella di Borghese. The nasoni are normally in cast iron, but some are made of travertine and there are specimens, such as the Fontana delle Tre Cannelle – located in Via della Cordonata, near Via Nazionale – which dates back to 1872 and has three spouts shaped like dragons.
