Description

The image captures Fontana del Nettuna and the square that it is in. The image was taken in the early ages since there is a horse drawn carriage on the road. Unlike the distinct black roads, the road in which the carriages walk, the people walk, and the train runs all blend together. A line of buildings all the same height and with no space in between runs alongside the road on the left. On the right the square opens up to a port/sea with boats anchored along the side. While the fountain is a grand sculpture on the right, no one stops to look at it and everyone is walking about.
