Ancient fountain dedicated to Leda and the swan

Built in 1914 in the piazzo formerly known as “della Torre,” as it was the site of a tower that was demolished in the late 18th century following an earthquake. The Fountain dedicated to Leda and the Swan features two basins on two levels, the lower one of which is fed by two taps.

The protagonist is a female figure flanked by a bird meant to represent the myth of Leda and the swan, from Greek mythology. According to legend, it seems that Leda, while standing near a stream, thanks to her beauty, induced Jupiter to transform himself into a swan in order to mate with her.
