Fontana Delle Tette, or 'Fountain of the Tits,' is one of Treviso's most beloved and quirky landmarks. Located in a small square near the Palazzo dei Trecento, the fountain depicts a bare-breasted female figure, from whose breasts water once flowed. Originally built in 1559 as part of the city's aqueduct system, it became the centerpiece of a local wine festival where the fountain flowed with red and white wine instead of water. Today, the fountain is a popular photo spot and a symbol of Treviso's playful spirit. The surrounding area is pedestrianized, making it a pleasant place to pause and watch the world go by. The fountain is small but full of character, with a stone basin and a wrought-iron canopy added later.
