Story · Fontana del Nettuno
You're standing on Piazza del Nettuno in Bologna, right next to Piazza Maggiore. In front of you is the Fountain of Neptune. Locals call it al Żigànt in their dialect, the giant. Look up and you'll see why. The bronze sea god is larger than life and towers over the whole square.
