Onda (Wave) fountain by Algero Rosi, 1972
Via di Fontanella
Siena, April 2024
“Onda runs south from the Piazza del Campo in the centre of the city. Traditionally, its residents were carpenters. Onda's symbol is a dolphin. Its colours are white and sky blue and the contrada describes itself as ‘The colour of Heaven, the force of the sea.’ Onda has the title of contrada capitana (captain contrada) because in the past its soldiers mounted guard at the Palazzo Pubblico.” (Contrade of Siena, Wikipedia)
