Water is great
These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect πΌπ΅πΎπ»πΉπ²π·π° height. The Romans were/are with us.
Yeah, these are really great.remember running from well to well to get that sweet cold goodness.
I think I have been at exactly this one once lol
Possibly - though they do all look alike! IIRC, this one is on Via dei Cappellari, just south of the junction with Via Pellegrino. I was walking away from Campo de Flori when I took this.
I like everything about this except the way you wrote slurping. It's so weirdly suggestive lmao
That's a whole lot of wasted drinking water when a modern drinking fountain would prevent the waste
Clean drinking water is not a scarcity everywhere. I'm pretty sure Rome would shut these down if that was the case.
Water treatment still costs something
Egh, a drinking fountain still sucks... better be a water faucet with control if I'm bein' honest
Then, I can fill up my water.
You can fill your bottle from these. I'd mark them along my cycling routes and fill up.
I didn't know they still used SPQR in Rome.
I'm not sure it ever really went away, but Mussolini brought it back into regular use.
