Fontana di Ponte Sisto

Roma, Italy

''Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere'' (1471-1481) gave order to replace the old Roman bridge by a new one. It was Pope Sixtus IV who also ordered the Sistine Chapel and the Opsedale di Santo Spirito to be built. So he ran out of money. He levied a tax on prostitution in order to gain money for the constru

ction of the Ponte Sisto.
