Fontana del Trianon, Marble fountain in Parco Ducale, Parma, Italy.
Fontana del Trianon is a three-level marble structure with green marble inlays, small cascades, and decorative water basins set within the park's pond. The fountain sits on a central island that creates sightlines from various angles around it.
Built between 1712 and 1719 under commission from Francesco Farnese with architect Giuliano Mozzani and French hydraulic engineer Jean Baillieul, it reflects the grand garden monuments of that era. The project developed during the peak of Baroque sculptural design in the region.
The two marble statues atop the fountain represent the Taro and Parma rivers, showing how important these waterways were and remain to the local area.
The fountain sits on an island within the pond and can be viewed from multiple pathways around the park. The walkways are wheelchair-accessible, allowing comfortable viewing from different vantage points.
In 1882, ten original statues representing the Four Seasons were removed from the fountain due to security concerns related to a nearby institution. This removal marked a turning point in how the monument was perceived and maintained.
