Torre (Tower) fountain by Mario Berrettini, 1984
Via di Salicotto
Siena, April 2024
“Torre is situated just to the south-east of the Piazza del Campo in the centre of the city, and encompasses Siena's Jewish quarter and synagogue. Traditionally, its residents worked as woolcombers. Torre's symbol is an elephant (the contrada's original name was Liofante or Lionfante) with a tower on its back. Its colours are crimson, striped with white and blue.” (Contrade of Siena, Wikipedia)
