From acqua Traiana to the Popes' fountains
What is the history behind the Traiano–Paolo aqueduct that supplies water every day to the tiny Vatican City State? Which spring feeds the 100 fountains that embellish the Vatican Gardens and the papal courtyards? The next Thursdays in the Museums on 12 March will try to answer these and other questions.
