In a remote corner of the “Villa Fabbricotti” park we can see what was once a beautiful fountain representing Leda and the Swan.
In the early years of 1900, Pedro Alessandro Bossio, the honorary consul of Argentina, became the new owner of “Villa Attias”. Both the building and the park were restored and enriched, the fountain was commissioned to the sculptor Luigi Brizzolara.
In an old photo of the villa, the fountain is clearly visible.
In 1968 the villa was demolished to make room for new buildings and for what is now “Piazza Attias”. The basins and the sculpture were moved to the place where now they stand.See also: Villa Fabbricotti - Piazza Attias
