La Fontana dei Cavalli Marini (The Fountain of the Seahorses) is an ornate water feature located within the gardens of Villa Borghese, one of Rome's largest public parks. This fountain, designed by Italian artist Aurelio Tiratelli, is a notable example of late 19th-century Italian sculpture and garden design. Tiratelli, an accomplished painter and engraver as well as a sculptor, was active during a period of Italian history known for its cultural renaissance and burgeoning national identity following the unification of Italy.

The fountain is named for its prominent seahorse sculptures, which are mythical creatures often associated with Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. These figures are not only decorative but also serve as an allegory of the power and dynamism of the ocean. The design of the fountain reflects the eclectic tastes of the era, combining elements of classical antiquity with contemporary artistic trends.

La Fontana dei Cavalli Marini is situated in a prime location within the Villa Borghese gardens, which were originally developed in the early 17th century for Cardinal Scipione Borghese, a nephew of Pope Paul V. The gardens were designed in the naturalistic English manner, a style that became increasingly popular among the Roman aristocracy. Over the years, the gardens have been adorned with a variety of sculptures, fountains, and architectural follies, contributing to their reputation as a museum in the open air.

Aurelio Tiratelli's contribution to the Villa Borghese is a testament to his artistic versatility and the cultural milieu of his time. The fountain not only serves as a picturesque attraction for visitors but also as a historical artifact that reflects the artistic and social currents of the period in which it was created. As a piece of public art, La Fontana dei Cavalli Marini continues to be a cherished element of the Villa Borghese, offering insight into the enduring legacy of Italian art and garden design.
