There is an eighteenth-century fountain in white Carrara marble in Pisa, it is located on one side of the Piazza dei Miracoli. The actual fountain consists of a simple quadriform base and is surmounted by the sculptural group which depicts three colossal putti holding the arms of the primacy and the city. Most tourists stop to see it especially because fresh drinking water flows from the fountain which quenches thirst during the visit of the square.
Long despised by the public and critics, it now enjoys unexpected popularity.
The Fountain of the Putti is the work of Giuseppe Vaccà and Giovanni Antonio Cybei based on a design by Giovanni Battista Tempesti.
Compared to the aesthetic canons used until then, despite the initial appreciation, criticism was not long in arriving. The first written judgment that has come down to us dates back to 1767, when Filippo D'Angelo, author of a handwritten Memoria del Duomo, labeled the author as "a terrible statuary".
