The architect Pietro Lombardi in the 20s won a competition run by the municipality of Rome to design some local fountains. His most imposing work is the fountain of the Anfore for the Testaccio district(where you can find an artificial hill made by broken ancient roman anfors!). A travertine fountain by Lombardi was erected with a circular base divided into four parts with the same number of flights of steps. Each part contains a basin into which water is
poured from a jar whilst volutes and columns join the steps to the heavy central group of jars above.I attached a 2D picture from 1920 period too.
