At the end of the nineteenth century to host it will be the current one Piazza Nicola Amore, when it was repositioned later in Piazza Bovio; from the 2001, then, it will be removed and reassembled in via Medina; to date the fountain, restored in the 2014 and inaugurated in May 2015, is placed in square Municipio, in front of the Palazzo San Giacomo.
