Fountain of the Twelve Months – Phaeton’s chariot
The "fountain of the twelve months", inaugurated during the 1898 General Italian Exposition in honor of the Albertine Statute's fiftieth anniversary, owes its name to the twelve allegorical statues ringing its surface. The fountain stands on the exact spot where, according to legend, the chariot driven by Phaeton, son of the sun god Helios, crashed to earth.
