I tried to recreate one of Rome’s iconic street fountains — the “Nasone”

I tried to recreate one of Rome’s public fountains in LEGO.

The trickiest part was getting the proportions right, especially the cylindrical body and the curved spout while keeping it stable.

I had to scale it up a bit beyond minifigure size to keep the details clean.

Any suggestions on how to refine the shape or make it more compact?

I tried to recreate one of Rome’s public fountains in LEGO.

The biggest challenge was getting the proportions right, especially the cylindrical body and the curved spout while keeping it stable and clean.

I had to scale it up a bit more than minifigure size to preserve the details.

Curious if anyone has suggestions to improve the shape or make it more compact.

One of the most underrated everyday designs in Rome 🇮🇹

These small fountains, called “Nasoni”, can be found all over Rome.

They provide fresh running water 24/7 and are a simple but brilliant example of public urban design.
