The fountain in the square was built with the arrival of running water from the aqueduct in Casperia – Cantalupo – Forano in the ’30s.
It was built by Baron Emilio Camuccini using rock materials taken from Rocchette (small rocks) for basement and tanks, while the raised part was performed employing ornaments marble (travertine limestone) that previously adorned the St. Girolamo door, dismantled before the II World War giving free access to vehicles in the Town. The use of 1500 materials leads to date the fountain the that era.
This is almost impossible, mainly for the lack of water at the time.
Paolo Emilio Cesi inscriptions let us think he was actually the author.
Probably contemporary to the rear Camuccini Palace, it somehow anticipates the Baroque motifs, even lacking the typical sense of articulation and movement.
