Fontana dei Malavoglia, Marble fountain in Piazza Giovanni Verga, Catania, Italy.

The Fontana dei Malavoglia is a monumental fountain in Piazza Giovanni Verga, Catania, centered on a sculptural group depicting the shipwreck of the Provvidenza from Verga's novel I Malavoglia. The figures are arranged around a base from which water jets intersect, creating a theatrical effect. The work was made by Carmelo Mendola.

The fountain was created by self-taught Catania sculptor Carmelo Mendola (1895–1976), who won the 1956 municipal competition for a monument to Giovanni Verga. Work lasted nineteen years, and the fountain was inaugurated on 25 October 1975. Mendola died in February 1976. A 2021 restoration replaced the water and electrical systems and returned the work to its original colour.

The name Fontana dei Malavoglia refers directly to Giovanni Verga's novel about a fishing family from Aci Trezza, a village just north of Catania. The carved figures show people hauling nets and mourning their dead, scenes that locals from the coastal neighborhoods still recognize as part of their own story.

The fountain stands outdoors in Piazza Giovanni Verga and can be visited at any time without charge. It sits in a central part of the city, within walking distance of several other points of interest in Catania.

Sculptor Carmelo Mendola was self-taught, and the fountain took nineteen years to complete before its inauguration on 25 October 1975. He died in February 1976 of a cerebral haemorrhage, shortly after seeing the work finished. The water jets emerge between the intersections of the base, producing a theatrical effect around the shipwreck scene.
