Built by a dominican priest, Giovanni Battista Embriaco in 1867, and then shown at the universal exposition in Paris, this clock is located in the Pincio section of the Villa Borghese park in Rome, Italy. It was recently restored in 2007, and it is currently in operating condition. The landscape decoration was created by Gioacchino Ersoch, placing the clock in a small island in a pond, surrounded by a simulated forest.
