Fontane di Roseto Valfortore

The Old Fountain was built by the Duke of France in the eighteenth century and was the public wash house of the village, a place of women’s work, but also and above all a place of socialization and creation and dissemination of gossip. The beautiful Fountain of the Title is also of the eighteenth century, located near the Church of San Francesco Saverio and is small and elegant; made of stone, is characterized by the central mask that acts as a vent for the discharge of water that flows into a small suspended tank. Finally deserves more than a look at the Fontana Grande on Corso Roma. The elegant structure is centrally located in the open space that opens to the side of the main street of Roseto. In stone and masonry, it has 4 pipes for water supply, placed in correspondence of 4 pilasters on which rests a pediment with volutes and pinnacles. At the bottom a single water tank.
