Fontana del Carciofo, Marble fountain in Piazza Trieste e Trento, Italy.
The fountain features two circular basins with a floral corolla sculpture at the top that resembles an artichoke shape in white stone.
Mayor Achille Lauro commissioned the construction of this fountain in 1955 after plans to relocate the Monteoliveto fountain were rejected by authorities.
The central location of the fountain makes it a meeting point for Naples residents who gather near the historic Caffe Gambrinus.
The fountain underwent extensive restoration work in 2015 to maintain its original appearance and water flow system.
Three pairs of decorated vases adorn the sides of the monument, contributing to its symmetrical design in the plaza setting.
