Drinking Fountains (Nasoni) — Nomentano
Refill water for free at nasoni in Nomentano. Residential district north-east with Villa Torlonia (Mussolini's residence, now museums) and tree-lined streets. Tram from Termini.
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 Nomentano 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 Nomentano
- 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 Nomentano safe to drink?
Yes. All ACEA-managed nasoni in Nomentano 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 Nomentano 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.
