The Bernini Code

Not unlike Dan Brown's Davinci Code, yesterday we found ourselves in the Piazza Navona studying a famous fountain by Bernini, The Qauttre Fumi, except instead of hidden messages about christian history, we were searching for a hidden message regarding a nearby gelato place. This fountain has four male statues, each representing one of the major rivers known to exist at the time it was built: the nile, the plate, the ganges, and the danube. Aai said the figure representing the Ganges river points in the direction of a really good gelateria that makes some cupcake gelato thing....unfortunately of the four statues at the four corners of the fountain, not one looks more like the ganges than another. After looking closely at each one for signs that it maybe be an indian person represented in the statue (including arguments like 'is it an asp or is it a cobra?'), we eventually resorted to eavesdropping on better informed tourists with hopes of overhearing them name each statue in turn. Unfortunately we were only able to eliminate one statue we heard an italian man tell his wife was the nile (later we learned this guy was full of it and he was pointing to the wrong statue). Anyways her/e's the one i think was the ganges, in which case we know where to go for gelato today. aai, is this it?
