This is the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, or the Fountain of the Four Rivers, and is found in the Piazza Navona. The four rivers referred to by the statue, made by Bernini, are the Nile, the Ganges, the Danube, and the Rio de la Plata (Africa, Asia, Europe and America, respectively).
I shot this with my Chinon 50mm lens because it has a bottom-end aperture of 1.4, and that let me shoot without my camera screaming at me for a flash that would have been totally ineffective anyway. I was so overwhelmed by the Piazza Navona that I have a number of totally useless pictures from there and the surrounding area. I had had about three hours of sleep in previous thirty-six, we had lost luggage, had checked into our hotel and then we were right back on the bus to go for dinner, which was where we went after this shot was taken. I'm surprised it turned out at all.
