Fontana del Gigante, Renaissance fountain in Piazza del Duomo, Carrara, Italy.

Fontana del Gigante is a marble fountain in Piazza del Duomo in Carrara, built in 1563–1564. Its oversized statue, left unfinished by Baccio Bandinelli, rests on two dolphins whose spouts pour spring water into a marble basin. Dedicatory inscriptions on the sides bear the date 1564.

In 1530 Baccio Bandinelli was commissioned to carve a marble Andrea Doria as Neptune, but disputes with the Doria family over contracts and delays meant the work was never delivered. The oversized block, nicknamed 'il Gigante', stayed in Carrara and in 1563 Marquis Alberico I Cybo-Malaspina had it set up on Piazza del Duomo as a fountain; dedicatory inscriptions carry the date 1564.

Locals call the statue 'l Zigant' in the Carrara dialect, and it was nicknamed the Giant because its scale exceeded the usual marble figures of the time, following Michelangelo's David. The base carries dedicatory inscriptions bearing the date 1564, and spring water still pours from the mouths of two dolphins into a marble basin.

The fountain sits in the center of Piazza del Duomo, making it easy to find when visiting the cathedral area. The water features and basin can be viewed and approached from all sides without barriers.

The nickname 'Gigante' (in local dialect 'l Zigant') refers to its size, unusual for its time: the first such 'giant' had been Michelangelo's David. Some scholars suggest the block may have served as the model for the Colossus of Jupiter carved in 1586 by Marcello Sparzo for the Doria family in Genoa.
