On our way back to the hotel, it is a bit rainy and gray but the beautiful Piazza Navona is still elegant with its fountain (the Fountain of the four rivers by Bernini) and its church Sant Agnese in Agone. Up to the 19th century this piazza used to be inondated on Saturdays and Sundays of the month of August..for the pleasure and entertainment of the rich and beautiful who drove in their wagons and enjoyed "splashing" around!
