Pine Cone Fountain in Rimini: photos, reviews

About

Once the sole source of drinking water and after enduring many reconstructions, the "Pine Cone" fountain, whose shape perfectly imitates the pine cone of the Italian stone pine, is a favorite spot among locals and numerous tourists. Incidentally, it was the pine cone that appeared on the coat of arms of the famous legions of Caesar, whose glorious reign is commemorated by the luxurious bas-reliefs adorning the pedestal. At the foundation of this architectural marvel lies three basins of different diameters, stacked one upon another. The walls of the basins are complemented by memorial plaques engraved with historical dates somehow connected to the "Pine Cone".

Mi piazza favorita en toda la ciudad. A cualquier esquina que ves está hermoso. Mucha simbología en la fuente.

La fontana della Pigna si trova in piazza Cavour di Rimini a fianco alla vecchia pescheria e alla statua di Paolo V. Uno scorcio della Fontana e anche vista nel film Amarcord di Federico Fellini. La fontana è stata ricostruita dalla precedente costruzione da Giovanni da Carrara nel 1543. Sulla fontana si possono vedere numerose incisioni e scritte, anche Leonardo da Vinci di passaggio a Rimini rimase colpito dalla fontana e dei suoi giochi d’acqua.
