The fountain is located under the church on the left side of the Via Francigena. It is in operation. Closed today, January 7, to prevent ice breakages.

Built in neoclassical style towards the end of the 19th century at the behest of Colonel Felice Ricuperati, the private oratory was donated around 1970 by Renzo Zucchi to the parish of Costamezzana. The façade of the small building is bordered by two Doric brick pilasters and a triangular pediment. SOURCE: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costamezzana

The Church of San Pietro Apostolo is a Catholic place of worship with neo-Byzantine architecture, located at Via Costa Pavesi 47 in Costamezzana, a hamlet of Noceto, in the province and diocese of Parma. It is the seat of a parish within the pastoral area of Pedemontana. HISTORY: The church was built starting in 1909 in the new lower village of Costamezzana, to replace the now inadequate medieval chapel located inside the castle. The work was completed in 1917, but the façade was not erected until 1930, designed by architect Camillo Uccelli. The adjacent rectory was built in 1932. In 1953, the monumental staircase in front of the façade was built, designed by engineer Celeste Merini. In 1954, the two main chapels and the apse were decorated with frescoes by the Noceto painter Pietro Furlotti.

The fountain is located at the back of the sanctuary near the public restroom entrance. The fountain is functional and accessible despite ongoing restoration work.
