The Monumental Fountain, located in the central Piazza del Popolo, was built in 1926 and designed by architect Raffaello Brizzi.
To create the bronze ornaments, Brizzi enlisted the help of Pistoia sculptor Antonio Guidotti.
History and Composition
Its construction marked the replacement of a pre-existing quadrangular loggia that had hosted agricultural markets and fairs since 1834. The fountain, made of travertine and bronze, consists of a large circular basin. At the top of the latter are putti holding four horns, from which jets of water flow out to feed the basin below.
