Drinking Fountains (Nasoni) — Aventine Hill
Refill water for free at nasoni in Aventine Hill. One of Rome's seven hills, quiet residential area with the famous Keyhole view, Giardino degli Aranci and panoramic terraces. Walking from Circus Maximus.
Drinking from Rome's public nasoni is free, legal and recommended even by locals — the water comes from the same aqueducts that supplied the ancient city. In Aventine Hill you'll find several active fountains spread across squares, parks and street corners. Refilling a bottle here saves €2–€3 per liter versus convenience stores and is the cheapest way to stay hydrated in summer.
Practical tips in Aventine Hill
- Block the lower spout with your finger: water shoots up from a small hole, making it easy to drink directly.
- All nasoni run cold, filtered, tested municipal water — safe for adults and kids.
- Bring a 1L reusable bottle: tap water at restaurants is rarely free (€2–€3 for a bottle).
- Fountains run 24/7 except during rare summer rationing; the city posts notices in advance.
- Some carved historic fountains (Trevi, Quattro Fiumi) are NOT drinkable — drink only from nasoni.

Frequently asked questions
Is the water from Rome's nasoni in Aventine Hill safe to drink?
Yes. All ACEA-managed nasoni in Aventine Hill deliver tested potable water from the municipal aqueduct. The water is chlorinated, cold and analysed daily — same quality as a Roman household tap.
How do I drink from a Roman nasone?
Cover the lower spout with your thumb. A small hole on top of the spout will shoot water upward like a drinking fountain. This trick keeps the water clean and is exactly how locals do it.
Are there nasoni in Aventine Hill year-round?
Yes. Rome's nasoni run 24/7 every day of the year, with rare exceptions during summer drought rationing — announced in advance by the city. In winter the water is naturally cooler.
