The fountain, built in 1965, consists of a low rectangular basin in the centre of which is a thermal pool in granite from the Roman period, supported by a pair of architrave fragments, also ancient.
The fountain represents the completion of the urban project of the widening dedicated to St. John Bosco, the heart of the neighbourhood built around the Basilica of the same name after World War II, in parallel with the pastoral action promoted by the Salesians. The pool was found on site during construction work on the church, designed by Gaetano Rapisardi and inaugurated in 1959.
