"La Pupilla di Pesaro"(the Apple of Pesaro's eye-1684) is a fountain by the sculptor Lorenzo Ottoni in the Piazza Del Popolo, Pesaro, Marche, Italy. Ottoni's fountain, an allegorical of the sea, is a round basin of white Istria stone in which four sea-horses guard a large shell supported by Tritons astride dolphins; the characteristic baroque ensemble, carved in handsomely contrasting orange Veronese broccatello marble and is rounded out by more shells, intimations of wrecked ships, seaweed, and discrete heraldic references.
