Tabernacolo delle Fonticine, Street shrine and fountain in Historic Centre of Florence, Italy.
The marble basin features seven cherubim heads pouring water, while the central altarpiece displays the Madonna with Child surrounded by saints.
Created in 1522 by Girolamo and Giovanni della Robbia, the shrine relocated from Via Santa Caterina d'Alessandria to Via Nazionale around 1850.
The structure demonstrates the Renaissance tradition of combining religious devotion with public water access through decorative architectural elements.
Located near San Lorenzo Market on Via Nazionale, the shrine maintains its original function as a water source for pedestrians.
The polychrome glazed terracotta technique used in the shrine exhibits the characteristic Della Robbia family craftsmanship with deep blue and yellow tones.
