A Curious Fountain. A Legendary Wine Tradition. A Little Italian Humor to Take Home.
Italy is full of beautiful monuments, but some of its most memorable landmarks come with stories that are anything but ordinary.
Hidden among the historic streets of Treviso is one of the city’s most unusual attractions: the Fontana delle Tette, affectionately known in English as the Fountain of Boobs.
With its surprising appearance and centuries-old connection to wine celebrations, this curious fountain has become a memorable symbol of Treviso’s history and playful character.
Our limited-edition Fontana delle Tette Handmade Fridge Magnet celebrates this remarkable local landmark in a charming handcrafted souvenir.
Made in plaster and inspired by the fountain’s distinctive design, this collectible combines history, local craftsmanship, and a little Italian humor.
Whether you’ve discovered the fountain while exploring Treviso or simply enjoy unusual souvenirs with fascinating stories, this little magnet is guaranteed to start a conversation.
A small piece of Treviso history with a wonderfully unexpected story.
The Fontana delle Tette – Treviso’s Most Unusual Historic Fountain
Few fountains in Italy have a story quite like Treviso’s Fontana delle Tette.
The fountain dates back to the 16th century and is traditionally associated with Alvise Da Ponte, a Venetian official who served as podestà of Treviso.
According to local historical accounts, the fountain was created in 1559 and originally stood within the courtyard of the Palazzo Pretorio.
Its unusual design features a female figure whose breasts served as water outlets.
But what made the fountain particularly famous was its connection to wine.
According to local tradition, during special civic celebrations, the fountain dispensed red wine from one breast and white wine from the other.
For a limited period, residents could enjoy the wine as part of the festivities.
Whether remembered for its unusual appearance or its legendary wine tradition, the Fontana delle Tette remains one of Treviso’s most entertaining historical curiosities.
Where Can You See the Original Fontana delle Tette?
One detail that surprises many visitors is that the fountain displayed in Treviso’s historic center is not the original sculpture.
A reproduction can be found in a small courtyard near Piazza dei Signori, where visitors often stop to take photographs and discover its unusual story.
The surviving original sculpture is preserved in the Museo Casa da Noal, part of Treviso’s civic museum collections.
This distinction makes the fountain even more interesting.
The replica allows visitors to appreciate its historic appearance, while the original remains an important piece of the city’s artistic and cultural heritage.
Our handmade fridge magnet celebrates this unmistakable Treviso landmark and the story that has made it famous.
Handmade in Plaster – A Souvenir with Personality
What makes this magnet special is its handcrafted construction.
Carefully made in plaster, it transforms one of Treviso’s most recognizable curiosities into a decorative keepsake.
The sculpted design pays tribute to the Fontana delle Tette, capturing the playful spirit of a monument that continues to surprise visitors.
Unlike conventional mass-produced plastic souvenirs, handmade plaster magnets have their own distinctive character.
Small variations in texture, color, and finishing are part of their handcrafted appeal.
Compact and easy to display, this magnet is a cheerful addition to your refrigerator or another suitable magnetic surface.
