Alatri. Antonini Fountain

Alatri. Antonini Fountain

The Antonini Fountain was built in 1869 by Count Filippo Antonini, from which it takes its name.

It was placed at the beginning of Piagge, the medieval quarter of Alatri.

Also the design of this fountain was given to the architect Giuseppe Olivieri who has chosen a different style for each.

The Antonini fountain is raised vertically and presents the heraldry of the family Antonini with dragons and eight-pointed stars.

It was made from a marble curvilinear bowl resting against a wall adorned as a fully curved doorway with marble work highlighted on red brick.
