fountain
The Fountain of the Thirteen Spouts, also known as the Fountain of the Pen, has ancient origins dating back to a fountain already present in Greek times, later incorporated into the medieval walls. The current Renaissance structure, with 13 masks of satyrs and fauns, was designed by Pellegrino Tibaldi and built between 1559 and 1560. The fountain is a symbol of the city of Ancona, represented by the bas-relief of the Assaulting Knight above the central mask.
