The Tritones Fountain, built in 1715, by the architect Carlo Bizzaccheri, was commissioned by Pope Clement XI during the work of levelling for Piazza Bocca della Verità, which was two meters above the current plan of the church of St. Maria in Cosmedin. Based on the emblem of the pontiff, the fountain has an octagonal basin with eight concave sides, to form an eight-pointed star like the emblem-star of the pope Albani, in the middle, above a group of boulders, adorned with aquatic grasses, in travertine stone as the whole complex of the fountain, rise two mighty tritons, kneeling and tails intertwined. The two tritons, who turn their backs with their arms raised on the shoulders support a cup-shaped open sea-shell, from which comes out the water and on whose board exterior is carved the emblem of the pontiff, three hills with a star.
