Tips from locals
Because of its size, the statue of Neptune is called “il Gigante” (the Giant), or “al Żigànt” in Bolognese dialect. It was built in 1566 according to the inscription at the base of the fountain.
Positioning on the black stone placed in front of the library Salaborsa you will notice a particular optical effect on the statue: through its index it will seem that Neptune has an erection.
