Fontana dell'aquila, Stone fountain with eagle statue in Piazza Duomo, Trento, Italy
The Fontana dell'Aquila displays a stone eagle positioned on top of a fluted shaft with a lion head that releases water into the basin.
Engineer Pietro Leonardi designed the fountain, and Stefano Varner completed the final version on March 20, 1850, incorporating elements from an earlier structure.
The stone eagle on the fountain mirrors the emblem of Trento, representing the city's identity through architectural craftsmanship and municipal symbolism.
Located at coordinates 46.0677293, 11.1215698 in Piazza Duomo, the fountain provides a central reference point for orientation in the historical center.
A local tale tells of a condemned man whose proclamation of innocence caused a real eagle to turn to stone, creating the statue seen today.
