Montelanico. Fountain of the Four Putti

Montelanico. Fountain of the Four Putti

The fountain of the Four Putti or Fawns was made in 1891 by sculptor Ernesto Biondi.

It is located in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele at the entrance to the village.

The fountain, which has been restored recently, represents a group of winged cherubs in bronze arranged in the central part of the fountain and having different expressions.

Restored in 2010, it represents three bronze putti waiting for the water to be poured from the fourth to the center.

The putti represent Montelanico and the neighboring towns of Gavignano, Segni and Carpineto Romano.

Originally the fountain was built by Biondi for the municipality of Morolo that refused it due to the political views of the artist.

So the artist decided to donate it to the municipality of Montelanico.
