The Crocodile Fountain, considered the symbol of the Tettuccio Establishment, was created by Florentine artist Sirio Tofanari and inaugurated on October 17, 1926, to coincide with the opening of the spa.
This striking fountain features two bronze crocodiles supporting a dark Labrador granite shell. From here, the Tettuccio spring flows into a large circular travertine pool, elegantly decorated with seahorses and green glass blocks.
Restoration and Symbolism
Tofanari’s work benefited from a major restoration in March 2023, sponsored and financed by the Angeli del Bello association of Montecatini Terme. The restoration allowed the base, now damaged by the wear and tear of time, to be rebuilt. The Crocodile Fountain represents a splendid water play that celebrates the magnificence and importance of the spa town’s most representative establishment.
