Fontana di Capodimonte, Baroque fountain in Capodimonte Park, Naples, Italy
The Fontana di Capodimonte features marble sculptures with male and female figures accompanied by dolphins created by Flemish sculptor Giuseppe Canart.
King Umberto I of Savoy ordered the relocation of the fountain to the belvedere area in 1885, placing it within a twenty-meter-wide basin.
The fountain appears in the 1945 Neapolitan song 'Munasterio 'e Santa Chiara', which references the 'funtanella 'e Capemonte' in its lyrics.
Located on the eastern side of the Royal Palace of Capodimonte, the fountain underwent a complete restoration in 2019 sponsored by Ferrarelle.
The fountain initially served as a water source in the fruit garden before being transformed into a central decorative element of the belvedere.
