The Fountain of Neptune (Italian: Fontana di Nettuno) is a monumental civic fountain located in the eponymous square Piazza Nettuno next to Piazza Maggiore in Bologna Italy Its bronze figure of Neptune extending his reach in a lordly gesture of stilling and controlling the waters is an early work by Giambologna completed about 1567.An innovation of Giambologna’s fountain designs is the fantastic and non-geometrical forms he gave to the basins into which water splashed and flowed curiously folded bulging and elastic in form as Rosalind Grippi remarked.
