Because of its size, the statue of Neptune is called “il Gigante” (the Giant), or “al Żigànt” in Bolognese dialect. It was built in 1566 according to the inscription at the base of the fountain.

Positioning on the black stone placed in front of the library Salaborsa you will notice a particular optical effect on the statue: through its index it will seem that Neptune has an erection.

The incredible 16th-century fountain has been recently restored. Those 'in the know' know that Neptune was sculpted so that when viewed from a certain angle, the viewer sees what seems to be the sea god's rather large, erect penis!
