Porta a Selci is one of Volterra's oldest gates. Its construction dates back to the Middle Ages, around the 13th century, and was part of the imposing walls that defended the city. The name "Selci" refers to the road that led to the town of the same name, an important agricultural hub in the area. The walls surrounding the gate bear witness to centuries of history, when Volterra was one of the most important cities in medieval Tuscany.

During the Middle Ages, the gate was a crucial element for the city's defense, as well as for trade and communications with the outside world.

In Pisa, there is an 18th-century fountain made of white Carrara marble, located on one side of the Piazza dei Miracoli. The fountain itself consists of a simple square base and is crowned by a sculptural group depicting three colossal putti holding the coats of arms of the primacy and the city. Most tourists stop to see it, mainly because fresh drinking water flows from the fountain, quenching thirst when visiting the square. Long despised by both public and critics, it is now enjoying unexpected popularity. The Putti Fountain is a work by Giuseppe Vaccà and Giovanni Antonio Cybei, based on a design by Giovanni Battista Tempesti. Despite initial appreciation, criticism was not long in coming compared to the aesthetic canons used up to that point. The first written judgment that has come down to us dates back to 1767, when Filippo D'Angelo, author of a handwritten
