The fountain was constructed between 1581 and 1588, designed by Giacomo Della Porta. It showcases bronze sculptures of children riding dolphins and turtles, with the turtles themselves added during a restoration in 1658. The fountain represents a blend of Renaissance and Baroque artistic styles and serves as an important example of Roman sculptural art from the period.
