quarter-circle basin, located at the corner of the Villa Vecchia area of the park, with water cascading from a super structure on the back of the basin.

The style of the fountain is "grotto" style, in which the fountain looks more like a cave, with slow dripping of water. Usually, moss and other water-rich plants are grown in the basin and along the rock components of the fountain, to give it that distinctive look.

Another example of this style is Villa Torlonia, also in Rome, Italy.
