The first documented fountain at this location was from 1266. It was replaced with new ones in 1315 and 1504.

The current fountain was designed by artist Paolo Antonio Pisoni. The date 1784 on the column is in fact wrong, because of a delay of the delivery of certain parts it was erected in 1785. This is a copy of 1937.
