When it was created during the reign of Pope Clement VII, today's Via del Babuino was called Via Clemenza, but the name changed with the erection of the Fountain of Sileno. Because the Romans thought he looked ugly, they called it the "Baboon's Fountain", hence Via del Babuino. During the reign of Pope Sixtus V, this area below the Pincio Hill was exempt from taxes as it was where many foreign artists lived and worked. The result was that Via del Babuino and Via Margutta, became one of the most culturally vivacious areas of Rome. Between the 17th and 18th centuries, there was a large colony of Dutch and Flemish artists whose pictures of the city and its landscape helped diffuse admiration for Rome's exceptional beauty throughout Europe.
