The Novi Cannola Fountain - Virtual Tour 360°

The Novi Cannola Fountain it is an architectural work of particular importance, a public work that can still be admired today.

It was contracted out, on a project by Fra Vincenzo di Carini, towards the end of 1846 by the mayor Giovanni Scibetta Giudice for a total cost of 426.17 ducats and inaugurated on 12 April 1847. The fountain is fed by the stream, called the canal, which waters were channeled downstream of the town in 1875.

It is located downstream of the inhabited center, in the middle of the homonymous square dominated by the grandeur of the Chiaramontano Castle and recently restored with a paving in stone slabs that replaced the worn cobblestones.

The fountain "di li novi cannola", so called precisely because it has nine water jets, has a rectangular plan with an adjoining watering hole for the animals and a circular washhouse on whose edges you can still admire the rocks dug by the incessant beating of women's clothes .

On the façade there is an unfinished blind window and at the top of the closing frame there are as many stone flower vases at the two ends.
