Summary

[edit]
Description

Fontana Pretoria - Fontana della Vergogna

« Fonte stupendissima che non ha pari in Fiorenza » Giorgio Vasari

La fontana ruota attorno ad un bacino centrale circondato da quattro ponti di scalinate e da un recinto di balaustre ed è costituita da tre vasche concentriche da cui prende l'avvio il gioco d'acqua che viene versata dalla sommità da un Bacco.

Distribuite all'interno di questa costruzione architettonica si trovano le statue che raffigurano gli dei dell'Olimpo e i fiumi di Palermo, Oreto, Papireto, Maredolce e Gabriele. Quest'ultima statua rappresentava il fiume toscano Mugnone, famoso nelle novelle di Boccaccio.

La parte centrale è circondata dalle raffigurazioni scultoree di varie divinità mitologiche.

Tra i monumenti d'età medioevale, tardo-rinascimentali e barocchi del centro storico di Palermo, la fontana rende il Piano Pretore un elemento urbanistico sorprendente.
