Fontana Angelica, Fountain in Piazza Solferino, Turin, Italy
The Fontana Angelica displays four statues representing the seasons, with female figures for Spring and Summer and male figures for Autumn and Winter.
Minister Paolo Baiotti funded the construction of the fountain in 1930, dedicating it to his mother Angelica Cugiani through sculptor Giovanni Riva's design.
The fountain's statues incorporate representations of knowledge, virtue, and love, reflecting the artistic and philosophical values of early 20th century Turin.
Located in central Turin, the fountain stands in Piazza Solferino, surrounded by benches and green spaces for public gatherings and relaxation.
Each of the four seasonal statues contains specific symbolic elements that connect to esoteric meanings beyond their surface representation of weather patterns.

Turin sits along the Po River with hills rising on the horizon. The city combines Roman remains, baroque palaces, neoclassical churches and 20th-century buildings. Wide streets cross the center, arcades provide shade and shops line the sidewalks. Parks stretch along the riverbanks while basilicas and viewpoints occupy the hills above. The Mole Antonelliana rises above the rooftops and now houses a museum. Piazza San Carlo and Piazza Castello are large open squares lined with cafés and historic facades. Valentino Park follows the river with paths, gardens and Castello del Valentino. The Palatine Towers show Roman walls, while Palazzo Madama blends medieval and baroque elements. The Royal Theatre and the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista stand near the narrow lanes of the Quadrilatero Romano, where markets and small shops fill the streets. Via Roma connects shopping districts to Porta Nuova railway station. Mercato di Porta Palazzo is a large market with stalls full of food and everyday goods.
