Despite its proximity to Villa Borghese, the Coppedè Quarter, an eclectic world of Art Nouveau and Art Deco architecture with Baroque, Gothic and medieval influences, is largely unknown to visitors. This beautiful hidden corner of Rome, devised by the architect Gino Coppedè in the early 20th century, is home to some of the city’s most expensive and exclusive properties, its buildings adorned with symbolic iconography. The area, especially at night, evokes a sense of magic, and this fountain is at its heart. (The Beatles, after a late-night performance at the nearby Piper Club, one of the city’s most renowned nightclubs, famously jumped into the fountain.)
