Lupa (She-wolf) fountain by Emilio Montagnani, 1962
Via Pian d'Ovile
Siena, April 2024
“Lupa is situated to the north of the Piazza del Campo. Traditionally, the residents of Lupa were bakers. Lupa's symbol is a female wolf nursing twins. Its colors are black and white, trimmed with orange. The she-wolf of this contrada refers to the legend that Siena was founded by Senius and Aschius, the sons of Remus, who were raised by a wolf. Because of this, Lupa's sister city is Rome.” (Contrade of Siena, Wikipedia)
