The Fountain of Neptune in Bologna.
It is certainly the most famous fountain in the Emilian city of Bologna.
Located in Piazza del Nettuno (practically in Piazza Maggiore) between the Salaborsa Library, Palazzo Re Enzo and Palazzo d’Accursio.
Obviously it represents the god of the sea surrounded by cherubs holding dolphins and four nereids.
There is also a secret (which is no longer a secret) of the seven that can be found in the city linked to the finger of the god which, if seen from a certain perspective, appears to be his genital organ.
