Each of the “rioni” or districts of Rome have a characteristic fountain put in place in the 1920s. They have some symbol, pertinent to the area, such as this one, which has books for the original site of the Sapienza University and the stag’s head for the Church of St. Eustachio, which saint gives the name to the Rione. The books once has Fascist symbols, later chiseled off.

Sr Mary Barron has renewed her activism for a female diaconate this week
She told EWTN that:
“women today may hear the call to priesthood.
Some of the great women saints heard that call also.
So for me, it’s how do we within the Church facilitate that discernment?” https://t.co/TcAYScCfeq— Michael Haynes 🇻🇦 (@MLJHaynes) October 21, 2026
