The Fontana della Navicella (Fountain of the Small Ship) is a fountain built around a marble and travertine replica of an Ancient Roman sculpture, depicting a decorated Roman Galley, and erected in front of the church of Santa Maria in Domnica of Rome, Italy. While the statue is a copy (1518–1519) made by Andrea Sansovino on commission from Pope Leo X based on fragments discovered near the church.[1]
