The fountain is no longer in operation. It's a good landmark for meeting up with the group. The downside is that it prevents you from taking good photos of the fountain (it feels like there are 100 people in the photo). They say if you can see the three little noses at the same time, you're lucky.

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

What a beautiful place. We only found one spot where you can pass through, but for bird protection reasons, you shouldn't walk along the embankment. You walk a lot around the lake on the shady paths. Unfortunately, you can't see anything from there because of the tall bushes. It's absolutely peaceful here. There's a little house with a lovely view of the lake.

by bike it's free. accessible by two paths: one short and steep and the other long and less steep. At the top there is also a bar!

Along the way you will come across some stony ground, also called Sassete, Pietraie or “Maoni” (local name), they are a peculiar phenomenon at our latitudes and at the modest altitudes reached by Monte Pisano, as they are typical forms of periglacial environment. These are mobile debris flows made up of angular blocks that are easily observable on the south-western side of the mountain and represent an ancient testimony of the last glacial (74,000-13,000 years ago). In the past they were certainly more extensive than the current outcrop areas. Their formation is linked to the type of rock that emerges, mainly green quartzites and white-pink quartzites, which tend to break into angular blocks and provide very little alteration material. Climatic factors have played a fundamental role in the formation of the Sassaie, which represent a degradation product by cryoclasm. Cryoclastism (from the Greek kryòs, ice and klastòs, broken) is the process of physical disintegration of a rock caused by the pressure caused by the increase in volume of water contained within the rock cracks when it freezes. The temperature range therefore favored the fracturing of quartzites, and the low humidity and low average temperature prevented a strong chemical alteration. Cryoclastism is a phenomenon more pronounced in regions of high altitude and latitude, and is usually associated with alpine, periglacial, subpolar maritime and polar climates, but it occurs wherever freeze-thaw cycles are present.
