This old fountain in Palermo was full of gods and goddesses. It was interesting to see the pick-and-choose pantheon represented by the artist. While some very minor characters – nymphs, triton – were depicted, some major gods – Zeus? – were left out. I guess some gods make better statues than others.
Later on we went to a public garden, near the shore. This garden was amazing; beautifully kept hedges in geometric design, tasteful statuary, and no litter. And all for free?
