Fontana di Bellerofonte, Baroque fountain in Avellino, Italy.
The fountain features three water spouts from Mount Partenio and combines white Irpinian stone with bardiglio marble in its construction.
Francesco Marino Caracciolo, the fourth Prince of Avellino, commissioned sculptor Cosimo Fanzaga to create the fountain in 1669 during urban redevelopment.
The fountain incorporates architectural elements that represent both Mannerist classicism and 17th-century naturalism, reflecting the artistic trends of Naples.
Located on Corso Umberto, the fountain remains an active water source with three spouts providing drinking water from Mount Partenio.
The structure employs spiral volutes and a carefully designed basin to create an illusion of water movement through the interplay of concave and convex surfaces.
