Fountain of boobs

Near Calmaggiore (the old roman road which crosses the piazza del Signori) there is the fountain called “Fountain of the boobs” and it is a curious attraction of Treviso.
By tradition, during THE SERENE REPUBLIC OF VENICE (1559-1797), every year on the occasion of the election of the new Podestà (the Major of the town), the fountain squirted white wine from a breast and red wine from the other one, for three consecutive days.
That was the joy of the inhabitants of Treviso , which exulted and thanked.
Unfortunately, now the fountain squirts only water.
