Sturinalto Fountain, 13th-century fountain in Piazza del Comune, Fabriano, Italy.

The Sturinalto Fountain displays three concentric basins with the highest made of bronze, supported by a cylindrical bronze column at its center.

The fountain was constructed in 1285 by sculptor Jacopo di Grondolo, following design elements from an earlier fountain created in Perugia by Nicola Pisano.

The name Sturinalto stems from the Italian words meaning high spurt, referring to the water jet height produced by the fountain's hydraulic system.

Located in the triangular main square of Fabriano, the fountain stands near the Palazzo del Podesta and the 18th-century Municipal Palace.

The limestone basins feature polygonal sides formed by mirrors separated by columns, creating geometric patterns in the stone structure.
