Special hidden gem of Treviso. A fountain with all kinds of stories.
But what is his real story?

It was 1559 when the then mayor of Treviso, Alvise Da Ponte, had this unique statue built after a severe drought had hit the area.

During the Venetian era (until 1797) the statue was placed in the praetorian palace. To celebrate the election of the mayors, for three days every year, white wine was poured from one chest and red wine from the other, so that all citizens could drink freely... a kind of ombralonga

Napoleon's troops, seeing it as a symbol of local power, severely damaged it and the statue was lost for a long time. It was rediscovered by Abbot Luigi Bailo, who included it in the Casa da Noal Museum.

A copy of the statue, rebuilt in 1989 by Peruvian sculptor Miguel Mi, currently resides there

Here is the original statue of the 'Fontana delle Tette'. It is an ancient sculpted fountain that, under the rule of the Republic of Venice, poured white wine from one chest and red wine from the other on the occasion of special celebrations.

A copy of this original sculpture is located in the small courtyard of Palazzo Zignoli. This is accessible via the Calmaggiore gallery. This original artifact can be admired under this display case.

The Tette Fountain was created in 1559 by order of the mayor after a severe drought that affected the city and surrounding countryside.

From 1797, the year of the fall of the Republic of Venice, wine flowed from the breasts in honor of each new Podestrà.
Citizens could drink for free for three days. During the French rule (Napoleon era), the busty lady was irrevocably damaged.
