Lonely Planet review for Piazza Barberini

More a traffic thoroughfare than a place to linger, this noisy square is named after the Barberini family, one of Rome’s great dynastic clans. In the centre, the Bernini-designed Fontana del Tritone (Fountain of the Triton) depicts the sea-god Triton blowing a stream of water from a conch while seated in a large scallop shell supported by four dolphins. Bernini also crafted the Fontana delle Api (Fountain of the Bees) in the northeastern corner, again for the Barberini family, whose crest featured three bees in flight.
