Fontana Medicea

   
   

La Fontana Medicea fatta costruire dal Granduca Ferdinando I dei Medici nel 1603 per i bisogni dei viandanti di fronte alla grandiosa Posta. Di gusto manieristico, sopra la fontana riporta un cartiglio che spiega il motivo della sua costruzione, sopra ancora le statue di due angeli in travertino che sorreggono un grande stemma medico. La fontana utilizzava l'acqua della vicina sorgente di Fonte Grande, portata appositamente con un condotto, nel retro della fontana due piccoli ambienti ad uso lavatoi per i servizi della Posta.

It was a sorrowful foster-mother who accepted thischarge, for Maria de Charti was mourning for her younghusband from whom she had been forcibly separated.This husband was a Sienese youth of the Tolomei family,by name Guccio di Baglione, who had come to Paris tolook after the mercantile affairs of his uncle, and thebrothers of Maria becoming friendly to him he spentmuch time at their palazzo, and frequently went huntingwith them. It was not long before he fell in love with thebeautiful daughter of the house, and without confiding inher parents or brothers they were secretly married, andthus lived until Marias condition made it necessary forthem to confess.
