Neptune Fountain

The Neptune Fountain is a famous sculptural landmark in Bologna, Italy, built in the late 16th century. It features a large bronze statue of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, standing in a dynamic pose atop a tall pedestal. Surrounding Neptune are other bronze sculptures representing sea gods and mythological figures, along with elaborate carvings and decorative elements. The fountain not only serves as an artistic centerpiece but also symbolizes Bologne’s historical connection to water management and maritime influence. It showcases Renaissance craftsmanship and remains a prominent cultural and historical monument in the city.
