Traveler reviews
E Scott Parks
★★★★★a year agoThe Fountain of the Months (Fontana dei 12 Mesi) in Turin is a stunning landmark from the Italian General Exhibition of 1898, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Albertine Statute. Designed by architect Carlo Ceppi, this beautiful fountain is the only permanent structure remaining from the event held in Valentino Park. Constructed with modern concrete, the fountain elegantly blends traditional styles with innovative design. It features four groups of statues representing the rivers of Turin—Po, Dora, Sangone, and Stura—along with twelve graceful female figures symbolizing the months of the year. The Fountain of the Months is not only a significant piece of history but also a breathtaking example of artistic achievement, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Turin.

★★★★★4 years agoIf you visit this fountain towards the evening, make sure to look from the top platform taking the sun behind you, because there will be an amazing mini rainbow on the lake! The water drops create a very visible rainbow, and also a second slight one. I've never seen a rainbow so close. A very nice experience!
