, 5 sec f/7.1, ISO 200, tripod. Milano, Italy.

Questa fontana (affettuosamente chiamata dai milanesi la "Torta degli Sposi") giace dinanzi al Castello Sforzesco di Milano, collegata da un comminamento pedonale che conduce alla splendida Piazza Cordusio. Fontana a ricircolo di circa 1.200 mq, con impianto circolare composto da vasche a quote differenti, a formare giochi e cascatelle, oltre agli zampilli a colonna. Il bordo vasca è in pietra di Vicenza, di notevole resistenza agli agenti atmosferici; il fondo vasca in massello lisciato al quarzo. Travagliata la storia di questa fontana. Costruita durante l'era fascista dalla società di gestione dell'energia elettrica AEM, venne realizzata nel 1936 in occasione della visita di Mussolini che si incontrava con i reduci della guerra d'Abissinia. Ebbe un tale successo che, da provvisoria, divenne definitiva nel 1939. Fontana illuminata di notte, durante la guerra, venne oscurata e fu smontata nel 1959 durante i lavori di costruzione della metropolitana, dopo essere stata a lungo un elemento simbolico della città. Chiusa in un magazzino per decenni su progetto del Comune di Milano venne riproposta nel 1999 e fu ricollocata nello stesso identico posto dove sorgeva precedentemente.
