Dear Anne, thank you for pointing out the error regarding the Piazza del Popolo’s obelisk.
You’re absolutely right: it was indeed Domenico Fontana who placed the obelisk at the center of the square in 1589, not Francesco Fontana, who lived from 1668-1708.
Following your comment, we have made the necessary updates to our page to correct this information.
It’s through contributions like yours that we can maintain the integrity and accuracy of our content.
