    Fountain was made in 2003 by the sculptor Vito Tongiani. The supposed Triumph of Aphrodite is a highly articulated fountain in which architectural and sculptural elements mix with a series of symbolic elements to tell of the birth of Venus-Aphrodite and her relationship with Mars, god of war and mythical lover of the beautiful goddess.
    Leaning against a marble background on which the symbolic insignia of Mars stands out, the marble basin seems to rise above the square due to the presence of three large winding staircases. A bronze shell detaches from the center of the second basin, amid water games, a bronze Venus seems engrossed.
    In addition to playing with the symbolism that spreads all over the new square, the fountain underneath is illuminated by the chromatic play between the light of the marble and the dark of the bronze, anyway by a series of golden elements that embellish the building and elaborately . A beautiful scene.
