The Fontana di Piazza San Babila was donated to the city by the Ente Autonomo Fiera Milano in 1997. The fountain was designed by Luigi Caccia Dominioni and is situated in front of the portico of the Toro Assicurazioni building, which is a garden of water and stones. The water falls from a central pinnacle into a large quadrangular basin and is surrounded by green ’hills’. The fountain stands as a symbol of the resources to be found in the region, thus the water, of which Milan became so proud.
