The Dragon's Fountain represents a squatting boy playing with marbles, one of which is painted with the colors of the neighborhood. The work was created in 1977 by the sculptor Vico Consorti. The reference to the contrada, in addition to the colors of the marble, derives from the inscription "L'AMORE DIE CONTRADA DA PER L'ARTE DI VICO CONSORTI AFFIDA AI DRAGAIOLI CHE NASCERANNO IL RICORDO DEI GRANDI PRIORI MARIO CALAMATI E ALBERTO ROSSI" on the fountain itself.

Baptismal font of the Contrada Drago, located in front of the Contrada administration building. Created in 1977, it is a work by the sculptor Vico Consorti. The inscription translates roughly as: "The Contrada's love for the art of Vico Consorti entrusts the memory of the great priors Mario Calamati and Alberto Rossi to the spirits of the Dragon, who are being born."
The bronze statue stands on a large block of tuff or travertine.
