Giacomo della Porta, a renowned Italian architect and sculptor, left an indelible mark on the artistic landscape of Europe. His masterpieces can be found in various cities across Italy, showcasing his exceptional talent and craftsmanship. One of his notable works is the Fontana del Moro or Moor Fountain located in Piazza Navona, Rome. This stunning fountain depicts a Moor wrestling with a dolphin, capturing the imagination of all who behold it. The intricate details and flowing water make it a beloved attraction for both locals and tourists alike. In Vatican City, Giacomo della Porta's genius is evident in St. Peter's Basilica seen from St. Peter's Square. The low angle interior view reveals the breathtaking beauty of the baldacchino and main dome that dominate this iconic religious site. Another striking creation by Della Porta is the Turtle Fountain situated in Rome. This charming fountain showcases turtles climbing over each other to reach its central basin while surrounded by elegant sculptures representing rivers. The Piazza della Rotonda boasts yet another masterpiece by Giacomo della Porta - the fountain of the Pantheon. With its grandeur and elegance, this fountain perfectly complements one of Rome's most famous landmarks. Della Porta's talents extended beyond fountains as well; he collaborated with Guglielmo Della Porta to create exquisite statues for Genoa's Duomo (St Lawrence Cathedral). Notably, their work on Archbishop Giuliano Cybo's Funerary Monument showcases panels depicting biblical scenes such as "The Beheading of the Baptist" and "The Conversion of Saul. " Additionally, Giacomo della Porta contributed to monumental projects like the catafalque for Duke Alessandro Farnese in 1593 alongside Giovanni Maggi and Giuseppe Cesari. Their collaboration resulted in an awe-inspiring structure that pays homage to an esteemed figure from history.
