Picture of Fonte Gaia Or The Fountain Of Joy
-- The XIV century Fonte Gaia was replaced in 1419 by Jacopo della Quercia's and then by Tito Sarrocchi's free adaptation of it in 1858. The original sculptures by Jacopo della Quercia are now in a room in the old Ospedale di St. Maria della Scala that overlooks Piazza Duomo. Although its present state is decidedly lamentable, Jacopo's Fonte Gaia is still one of the most important sculptures produced in XV century Italy during the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance styles.
