Palermo_Fountain_of_Shame (Fontana Praetoria). Originally created for a garden in Florence, sold to Palermo,
disassembled into 644 pieces for transport and rebuilt. The nickname came from all the nudes and that it
was viewable from a convent of cloistered nuns.
The fountain represents the Twelve Olympians, other mythological figures, animals and the rivers of Palermo.
