<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>Fontana dell&#8217;Acqua Felice</strong>, also called the <strong>Fountain of Moses</strong>,<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fontana_dell%27Acqua_Felice#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> is a monumental <a title="Fountain" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain">fountain</a> located in the Quirinale District of Rome, Italy. It marked the terminus of the <a title="Acqua Felice" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acqua_Felice">Acqua Felice</a> aqueduct restored by <a title="Pope Sixtus V" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Sixtus_V">Pope Sixtus V</a>. It was designed by <a title="Domenico Fontana" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domenico_Fontana">Domenico Fontana</a> and built in 1585–1588.<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fontana_dell%27Acqua_Felice#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup> It is located at the intersection of Largo Santa Susanna and Via Venti Settembre; across and diagonal from the Largo, is the <a title="Santa Susanna, Rome" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Susanna,_Rome">church of Santa Susanna</a>, while across Via Venti Settembre is the church of <a title="Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Maria_della_Vittoria,_Rome">Santa Maria della Vittoria</a>.</p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The statue of Moses was criticized at the time for its large size, not in proportion with the other statuary, but the fountain achieved its political purpose; it was a statement of how the <a title="Catholic Church" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church">Catholic Church</a>, unlike the <a title="Protestant Reformation" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_Reformation">Protestant Reformation</a>, was serving the needs of the people of Rome. It also achieved its social purpose of reviving the Quirinal neighborhood; what had been a rustic area of villas was turned into a thriving urban neighborhood by the arrival of a good drinking water supply.<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fontana_dell%27Acqua_Felice#cite_note-11">[11]</a></sup></p>
