Foreigners reside commonly in the Square of _Spain_, and the seven Streets which run into it. This Quarter belongs to the Jurisdiction of the _Spanish_ Ambassador, whither the _Sbirri_ dare not pursue a Criminal, or to venture being seen there; for if they did, they would be attacked by Bravo’s, who, like the _Swiss_ of the _Spanish_ Minister, are very jealous of their Rights of Franchise, which all Ambassadors enjoy as well as he: This is often the Source of many Disorders, and, if I may venture to say it, authorizes Wickedness, because it gives the Criminals so ready an Opportunity of finding Refuge; but ’tis a rare Income for the Bravo’s and their Captain; for the Libertines and Malefactors who retire into their Masters Quarter, can do no less than pay them for their Protection. The Square of _Spain_ leads me to give you some Account of the Square _Navona_, which, tho’ by no Means regular, and by much too narrow for the Length of it, may be numbered among the finest Squares in the World. ’Tis adorned with noble Fountains, two of which are worth the strict Attention of the Curious. The Middlemost, which is the largest, was erected by Order of Pope _Innocent_ X. of the Family of _Pamphili_, according to a Model by Signior _Lorenzo Bernini_, who has made a shining Display of his Art in this pompous Work. The Whole is a large oval Bason, lined with white Marble, in the Midst of which there rises a Rock, with four Grottos cut in it, and on the Top there’s an Obelisk, or Spire, of oriental Granate, which was formerly in the _Circus_ of the Emperor _Antoninus Caracalla_. At the four Corners of the Rock, there are four Statues of white Marble, sitting in Attitudes equally bold and noble, which represent the four principal Rivers of the World, the _Ganges_, the _Nile_, the _Danube_, and _Rio de la Plata_, in the _West-Indies_. These four Statues, tho’ made by different Hands, are alike beautiful, and adorned with the Attributes suitable to each Statue. The second Fountain is a white Marble Bason in an oval Figure, in the Middle of which a Triton appears sitting on a Dolphin cut in Marble, done by the Hand of the famous _Michael Angelo Buonarota_. Opposite to the great Fountain stands the fine Church of St. _Agnes_, begun by _Innocent_ X. and finished by his Nephews the Princes _Pamphili_. ’Tis one of the most sumptuous and stately Edifices in ROME. The Inside is an Oval. It abounds every-where with Marble, Gilding, and excellent Paintings. Adjoining to this Church is a great and magnificent Palace, belonging to Prince _Pamphili_, who lets it out to the Cardinal _Corsini_[2]. There’s a Gallery which is admired by the Connoisseurs in Painting.
