Via del Babuino stretches for over half a kilometer in Rome's historic center connecting Piazza di Spagna with Piazza del Popolo.

It was originally divided into two separate sections, “Via dell'Orto di Napoli” and “Via del Cavalletto.”

A unified face to the street was given beginning in 1525, when Pope Clement VII ordered improvements.

In 1571 a new fountain was installed for the use of the citizens and the statue of Silenus was placed, soon to become famous because of its ugliness.

The inhabitants compared it to a monkey: thus was born “er babbuino” and later this became the very name of the street.
