Fontana dei Putti
The Fontana dei Putti stands at the entrance to Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli, a graceful marble fountain often overshadowed by the Leaning Tower. Its origins date to the mid‑18th century, when sculptor Giovanni Antonio Cybei created the lively group of cherubs holding the coats of arms of Pisa and the Opera del Duomo. The fountain replaced an earlier, simpler water source documented as early as 1659Wikipedia. Though decorative today, it originally served a practical purpose, providing fresh water to residents before modern plumbing. Its Carrara marble figures catch the light beautifully at sunrise and sunset, making it a favourite subject for photography. Positioned between Via Santa Maria and the monumental square, the Fontana dei Putti adds a playful, elegant touch to the architectural grandeur surrounding it, offering visitors a moment of charm amid Pisa’s most iconic landmarks.
