    (Translated by Google) It is a monument built in 1342 by the Chiaramonte family to celebrate the first aqueduct that brought water from Mount Erice to the city walls. The fountain is surmounted by the statue of Saturn, the patron father of Trapani in the pagan age. It's not particularly exciting in itself, but it's still very important to the event it celebrates. (Original) Si tratta di un monumento edificato nel 1342 dalla famiglia Chiaramonte per celebrare il primo acquedotto che portò l'acqua dal monte Erice sin dentro le mura della città. La fontana è sormontata dalla statua di Saturno, padre protettore di Trapani in età pagana. Non è particolarmente entusiasmante di per sé, ma è comunque molto importante per l'evento che celebra.

    (Translated by Google) Historic monument located in the center of Trapani, in the square of the same name, next to the church of Sant'Agostino ...

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful square from ***** with fabulous rose window of S.Agostino, fountain with a statue of Saturn without water and with trees that cover the beautiful view of the whole, but this is only the fault of those who manage. (Original) Bella piazza da ***** con favoloso rosone di S.Agostino, fontana con statua di Saturno senza acqua e con alberelli che coprono la bella visione del tutto, ma questo è solo colpa di chi gestisce.
