  • Acqua Vergine ist eines von mehreren römischen Aquädukten, die reines Trinkwasser nach Rom liefern. Sein Name leitet sich von seinem Vorgänger Aqua Virgo ab, das im Jahr 19 v. Chr. von Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa erbaut wurde. Sein Endkastell befindet sich bei den Agrippa-Thermen und versorgte mit seinen verschiedenen Kanälen die Umgebung des Campus Martius. In dem Bemühen, Rom während der Renaissance wieder mit frischem Wasser zu versorgen, erneuerte Papst Nikolaus V. im Jahr 1453 die Hauptkanäle des Aqua Virgo und fügte zahlreiche Nebenkanäle unter Campo Marzio hinzu. Die ursprüngliche Endstation, eine Mostra genannt, was soviel wie Prunkstück bedeutet, war der von Leon Battista Alberti entworfene stattliche, würdige Wandbrunnen auf der Piazza dei Crociferi. Durch mehrere Ergänzungen und Veränderungen an den Endpunkten der Leitungen in den folgenden Jahren, während der Renaissance und des Barocks, entstanden aus dem Acqua Vergine mehrere prächtige Mostre – der Trevi-Brunnen und die Brunnen der Piazza del Popolo.
