The Main characters at the Trevi Fountain. Thread 🧵 The iconic fountain in a city of fountains. The Trevi Fountain, located in Rome, Italy, is one of the world’s most iconic Baroque monuments. Commissioned in 1732 by Pope Clement XII, it was designed by architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762. Standing 86 feet tall and 161 feet wide, the fountain is adorned with intricate sculptures, including Neptune, god of the sea, flanked by Tritons. Built against the Palazzo Poli, it’s fed by the Acqua Vergine aqueduct, a marvel from 19 BCE. Legend says tossing a coin over your shoulder into the fountain ensures a return to Rome. Today, it draws millions of visitors annually, with collected coins funding local charities.Image
The central character is Oceanus. Oceanus was a Titan from Greek mythology and the ruler of the seas. He rode on a shell chariot. Oceanus was considered the Titan who ruled the seas before the Olympian gods took over. He was the eldest of the Titans, born to Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth), and personified the great river encircling the world, which the Greeks believed was the source of all waters. Unlike Poseidon, who later became the Olympian god of the sea, Oceanus was a more primordial figure, associated with the vast, boundless ocean rather than its storms or creatures. After the Titanomachy, when Zeus and the Olympians overthrew the Titans, Poseidon assumed control of the seas, relegating Oceanus to a more symbolic role.Image
The Wild Sea is the figure on Oceanus’s right, and the viewers left if you are standing directly in front facing the fountain. It represents the Sailor’s nightmare as the untamed horse is the waves that crash their ships. Another of the Titans. Image

Controversial, Influential, mad are all things to describe Nietzche. Let's take a short walk through a few of his famous quotes to peel back the mind of a philosopher still revered today. đź§µ Do you hear the music?

Yes, the abyss quote is in there too. đź§µ Image
This is one of my favorite quotes of Nietzche. It explains my often incredulity with people that champion really bad art. We must ask ourselves always if we really like something, or if we have been programmed to like something. Image
I want to know. I want to find out the reasons behind all that is here no matter where that takes me. Image
