Pantera (Panther) fountain by Giulio Corsini, 1977
Piazza del Conte
Siena, October 2021
“Pantera’s fountain was inaugurated in the same year as Drago's, and is the work of sculptor Giulio Corsini. The sleek bronze panther crouches, gazing attentively into the basin below. The Pantera contrada is on the southwest side of Siena and their fountain is located in Piazza del Conte, on Via di San Quiricio. Their patron, Saint John the Beheaded, is celebrated on August 29.” (Siena's Contrada Fountains, La Bella Vita in Italia)
