Fountain by Bernardo Buontalenti, (end of 16th Century)
Via dello Sprone / Borgo San Jacopo
Florence, November 2013
“This masterpiece by Buontalenti (end of 16th Century) with a striking grotesque mask, is probably the most famous fountain of Oltrarno; it was made after the fountain by Chiarissimo Fancelli located at the corner of the old Corn Market, in Via de' Neri, near Piazza della Signoria.” (Oltrarno's Fountains, Firenze-Oltrarno.net)
Sometimes I wonder how these escape graffiti... The details are superb.
