Dolphin Fountain, Renaissance sculpture fountain in Lower Bergamo, Italy.
The Dolphin Fountain displays a triton figure mounted on a dolphin, with water flowing from the creature and two deity masks on the column sides.
Created in 1526, this fountain stands in the Pignolo district, which was covered in pine forests before the construction of the Venetian Walls.
The base of the fountain features a pine cone relief, representing the Pignolo borough and connecting to the natural history of this urban area.
Located on Pignolo street, the fountain serves as a reference point for visitors exploring the historic district of Lower Bergamo.
The fountain combines three distinct elements: a triton rider, a water-spouting dolphin, and decorative deity masks in a single Renaissance composition.
