Fontana dell'Amenano, Marble fountain in Piazza del Duomo, Catania, Italy
The white Carrara marble fountain features a central triton statue surrounded by allegorical figures representing the Amenano River flowing beneath the city.
Neapolitan sculptor Tito Angelini created the fountain in 1867 at the location where Greeks established Katane on the banks of Amenano River.
Local residents refer to the fountain as l'Acqua o Linzolu, marking its position between Piazza del Duomo and the traditional fish market La Pescheria.
The fountain stands in a pedestrian area connected to public transport stations, making it accessible for visitors exploring the UNESCO World Heritage site.
Water from the underground Amenano River continues to flow through the fountain, connecting modern Catania with its ancient Greek foundations.
