The giant bronze pine cone (Pigna) once decorated a fountain in Ancient Rome next to a vast Temple of Isis. There water flowed copiously from the top of the pinecone.
Locorum
This rione is centrally located in the Campus Martius area of ancient Rome. It is roughly square-shaped, extending from the Pantheon on its northwest corner to the Piazza Venezia on the southeast. This relatively small area contains numerous churches and palazzi.

Portatori d'Acqua: The Water Carriers are unique among Roman gangs in that they are also an ancient guild. They too have recently had difficulties with the Triga Consortium muscling in on their turf.
