A small late-Renaissance fountain (1581-88, probably designed by Giacomo della Porta, bronzes by Taddeo Landini) in a quiet square at the edge of the Ghetto, with four bronze youths and dolphins. A popular legend says that Duke Mattei had it built overnight to win a bride and then walled up the window she saw it from.
