FONTANA DEL VINO

The wine fountain realized in 1978 by Salvatore Fiume with the bacchante and a kicking donkey carrying a barrel on his back, symbolises the generosity of a land based on agriculture. In the city of wine, the sculptural group, in fact is to highlight the two main social-economic aspects of the territory: the cultivation of the vines and the consequential wine production. The donkey, a fundamental part of past Sicilian farming life, symbolises work, the bacchante symbolises the wine.
