Neptune fountain, 1565-68, by Stoldo Lorenzi, in the Giardino di Boboli or Boboli Gardens, a park opened to the public in 1766, in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. The sculpture depicts Neptune striking the ground with his trident to bring forth water, with a grotto of nymphs beneath. The Boboli Gardens were designed and built for the Medici family and are next to the Pitti Palace, their family home. They were begun in the mid 16th century and made by Niccolo Tribolo, Bartolomeo Ammanati, Giorgio Vasari and Bernardo Buontalenti. The historic centre of Florence is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
