Today I found myself in the shower, throwing water with my mouth, trying to emulate a fountain. After laughing a bit I thought... Do I know any fountain? Of course I do, but I can't remember where.
Hours later I started a search for the fountains I know. I can't remember the ones I saw in Barcelona or Münich, but I do remember the ones in Torino.
This text it's just a way to thank that lovely city. I'll be there again. I just do not know when. But I will!
The first fountain I met in Torino, in my early days there, was one little, very small fountain for drinking water, It was somewhere in Piazza San Carlo, but I can't remember the direction the statue is looking, so I can't really say which side of the piazza it's the fountain. I suppose it's the side showed in the photo.
The other of the other ones is unimportant, just because that little fountain was the first of its kind that I saw. (hihihi... )
This is another one I met. Not quite impressive at that time, but now it shines with it's own light... well.. not quite, but almost. This is Fontana Angelica in Piazza Solferino. (I finally know how the name of this fountain!)

This is the fountain in Parco Valentino. Quite nice after all this Olympics hype. I never saw it like this.
The next two are two water-mirror style fountains. Fontana del Po and Fontana Dora are very close to Piazza San Carlo. If I remember, somewhere around was a nice music shop, where I bought the Play CD of Moby. That was the first CD I bought in Italy!
And last but not least, the fountains in Piazza Castello! I love this place. There I saw for the first time in my life an spectacle of flags. I really felt like in the medioeval Italy!
Mmm... Those were quite happy times.
