The well known in the fifteenth century "Fontana Vecchia", was renamed as "Fontana Garibaldi" in 1866 after the Garibaldi soldiers of the Orsini Brigade were said to have refreshed themselves in August 1860 during a break with the well water. At the same time, the fountain was adorned with a gray granite facade. The iron-rich taste of its waters is due to the high iron content, as it arises upstream from a rock rich in this material. Not everyone likes this special taste, but it does not affect its curability and drinkability. (Source: discoveringpizzo.com/de/monumenti/der-garibaldi-brunnen/).
