The ''Fountains of St. Peter's Square'' ((イタリア語:Fontane di Piazza San Pietro)) are two fountains in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, created by Carlo Maderno (1612–1614) and Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1667–1677) to ornament the square in front of St. Peter's Basilica. The older fountain, by Maderno, is on the north side of the square. ==Pope Innocent VIII fountain== The Maderno fountain on the north side of the square is located on the site of an earlier fountain, built in 1490 during the time of Pope Innocent VIII. It was reputed to be the finest fountain in Rome, with two vasques and three jets of water coming from the mouths of three stone heads, and three coats of arms of Pope Innocent VIII, carved by Alonso du Capua. The fountain was described by the Roman chronicler Stefano Infessura: "In the year 1490, His Holiness constructed on the Square of St. Peter ... a magnificent fountain, with marble plaques inscribed with history, and two round vasques one above the other, so that they can be seen; and anyone will judge, nothing comparable can be found anywhere in Italy."〔Cited in Mauizia Tazartes, ''Fontaines de Rome'', p. 24.〕 The fountain was restored by Pope Alexander VI in 1500 and a watering basin for animals was added.〔Maurizia Tazartes, Fontaines de Rome, p. 82.〕
