Tabernacolo delle Fonticine, Street shrine and fountain in Historic Centre of Florence, Italy.

The Tabernacolo delle Fonticine is a marble shrine and fountain in Florence's historic center with seven cherub heads that pour water from the basin. The central altarpiece shows the Madonna with Child surrounded by saints, all rendered in polychrome glazed terracotta.

The shrine was made in 1522 by Girolamo della Robbia, perhaps with Giovanni, for the "Reame di Biliemme", a district guild of commoners. It first stood in Via Santa Caterina d'Alessandria and was dismantled and rebuilt on the wall of the former Fuligno convent around 1850, when that street was widened; some texts date the move to 1905, a year linked instead to a restoration. Cosimo Conti restored it in 1886 after damage.

The shrine shows how Florence in the Renaissance combined water fountains and places of prayer into one space. People used it both for drinking and for quiet devotion, mixing daily needs with spiritual practice.

The shrine sits near San Lorenzo Market on Via Nazionale and still functions as a water source for people passing by. It is easily spotted during a walk through the old city and offers a quiet moment between other nearby attractions.

The della Robbia family developed a special glazing method that produced bright, lasting colors, particularly deep blue and yellow tones. This technique became their signature and made their works stand out from other craftspeople working in the city.
