Fontana delle quattro stagioni

The fountain spans 58 meters in length and 18 meters in width, featuring three interconnected pools with 60 water jets reaching heights of 8 meters.

Architect Renzo Gerla designed the fountain for the 1927 Milan Trade Fair, though its original sculptures were destroyed during World War II and replaced in 1953.

Four female statues created by sculptor Eros Pellini represent the changing seasons, expressing the cyclical nature of time through classical symbolism.

The fountain is accessible via Metro lines 1 and 5, with stations Buonarroti and Tre Torri providing direct access to Piazzale Giulio Cesare.

The central pool contains an elevated stone island that channels water into side basins through a system of pyramids, balls, and pine cone decorations.
