Fonte della Fata Morgana
Fonte della Fata Morgana, Historical civil building museum in Bagno a Ripoli, Italy.
The Fata Morgana Fountain features marble statues, pink brick walls, and a black and white pebble mosaic floor spelling its name at the entrance.
Bernardo Vecchietti commissioned the construction of this fountain in the 1550s within the gardens of Villa Il Riposo, his family's summer residence.
The fountain contains a marble statue by Giambologna depicting Fata Morgana, a figure from Arthurian mythology also known as Morgan Le Fay.
The fountain received 148 visitors in 2021, marking a significant increase from the 6 visitors recorded during the restrictions of 2020.
Friedrich Von Leben's 18th-century diary describes an encounter with two women in white who offered water from underground sources at this location.
