Fontana Ulizzo di Volturara Appula
On the northern edge of the town of Volturara Appula, along the road that leads to the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Sanità, is the beautiful Ulizzo Fountain.
The place
The monumental fountain was built at the end of the 19th century in grey stone.
The artifact, of rare elegance, is characterized by the presence on top of a medallion engraved with an exhortation to the care of the same source by the inhabitants of the village. The fountain has 5 pipes for the supply of water, set in as many masks with the appearance of lions' heads. The three central mouths are placed in a square of smooth stone, while the two lateral ones protrude from striped stone panels. At the bottom, suspended, three tanks: the largest in the central position serves the three central pipes.
