The Fountain of the Three Cannoli, located in the historic center of Avellino, is one of the most significant monuments of the city. The function of the fountain, which Francesco Marino I Caracciolo commissioned in 1669 to the Bergamo architect Cosimo Fanzago, was to be a noble public fountain that gave enchantment to one of the corners of the city.

The Three Cannoli fountain collected clear and fresh water coming from the slopes of the Partenio. To this day, the Fountain is unadorned and its statues have unfortunately been stolen.
