This ancient spring, unlike any other in the village, is powered by its own source of mineral water. It consists of a basin formed by a long stone trough against a wall of opus incertum. Located in a central position is the crowned, stone emblem of Pettorano inscribed with the date of 1871, which probably refers to a work of restoration. On the left of the trough, but a little further back, we...
This is a wall-fountain fed by the waters of the river Gizio.
The wall is made up of blocks of hewn stone and leans against a trapezoidal, stone, plastered wall. The sides are framed and at the top in the middle is a rose with the spout.
