It is named after a religious building (Pieve di San Fele), which identity is unclear, cited in 1082 as part of the plover of Saint Paul in Ardenza.
It is a very simple structure consisting in a semicircular basin set against a stone-clad backdrop and a small side drain.
Notable is the supply system, entirely rebuild at the beginning of the 19thentury, which consist in a trench intercepting surface waters drained into the fountain.
To guarantee a certain regularity of the water flow, on the back of the stone facing, there is a reservoir supplied by the same overflow structure.
Rather than for its architectural relevance, the fountain is well-known due to is importance in rituals related to the Santuario di Montenero.
