The fountain of Diana, is located on the square of Archimedes in Syracuse and is worthy of the most beautiful fountains in Rome. It tells the story of the nymph Aretusa who tries to escape Alpheus while being protected by the goddess Diane. Dated 1907, it is the work of the sculptor Giulio Moschetti of Catania. It was sponsored by nobles of Syracuse.
