The flooding of Piazza Navona in Rome, which was turned into an arena for water games, was one of the famous public and private pastimes of the August vacations week in the seventeenth century. The tradition of throwing coins into the fountain dates back to this time. All the feasts of this period have a common denominator: water, which is so cooling under the hot sun. The week's menu could not fail to include some sea water-based dishes.
