The fountain of the Three Piscioli, so called for its three water jet flowing by as many cannulas, is located in a semi-hidden corner under Lauria in what was once the town Rijeka, now Via Fontana. Once used by housewives for water supply and the laundry, it currently has poor conditions. Already during some renovations of the retaining wall, made in 1978, the building suffered an apparent breakup that was manifested by the removal of masks that decorated. The artistic works, of little value, consisting of strange faces in whose mouths were implanted cannulas, are lost. Ludovica

The fountain of Pisciolone is located in the lower district of Lauria in via Fontana, a place that once was called River. It was built in 1787 when the Friars Minor of the ancient and now destroyed Convent of San Bernardino donated the sources to the city. Only recently, after a long period of inactivity, it restored the flow of water through the single imposing and austere stone canal that feeds the four cannulas of the fountain. On the facade it is posted a bas-relief of the municipal coat of arms. A little further down there is another fountain, one of the Three Piscioli. Giulia
