Fountain of the Genius of Fieravecchia

It borders on the church of San Carlo dei Milanesi and one block east of both the Palazzo Valguarnera Gangi and the Regio Teatro Santa Cecilia.

There are over half a dozen stone monuments depicting the Genius of Palermo in the city, including another fountain at Villa Giulia.

At the base of the fountain, a plaque reads: This marble/ feared symbol of liberty / removed from the eyes of the people/ by the restless tyranny/ the victorious people restored.

Against the right flank of the church of San Carlo, facing the piazza, a marble plaque reads:[2]In this square that at the dawn of the assigned day saw the insurgents gather around the improvised tricolor and were the first to proclaim the freedom and democratic constitutions coveted by the peoples.

Today celebrating the 1st centenary of January 12, 1848, the people of Palermo welcome and consecrate the vow of a world that, after the hardest labor, yearns to join together in pacts of more freedom.
