Fonte della fata Morgana

Fonte della Fata Morgana di Villa Vecchietti

In the second half of the 16th century, Bernardo Vecchietti had the park of his villa embellished with an unusual nymphaeum, the Spring of Morgan le Fay, a two-storey building fashioned like a theatre curtain. Inside there is a grotto with a fountain, on which Giambologna’s marble statue of Morgan (now lost) once stood.
