Piazza Novana, which is oval in shape, combines the nobility of the past with the beauty of the present. The square, located in the heart of Rome, contains the masterpiece of the sculptor Al-Shahr Bernini (Fountain of the Four Rivers), a fountain representing four different rivers from four continents: the Nile from Africa, the Danube from Europe, the Ganges from Asia, and the Rio de la Plata from Latin america. The square is also a meeting place for many artists and painters, and many celebrations and festivals are held in it. Thus, the square is a great rest stop after long hours of wandering.
