Each of the four seasons are represented by a fountain on the four corners of the Baroque Piazza Vigliena commonly known as the Quattro Canti in Palermo. On the north corner is the Autumn Fountain in front of the Castellamare structure.
The Autumn Fountain features a statue of a woman wearing an floor length dress under a blouse which is cinched under her arms with a strap. In her right hand she is holding a basket of fruit. Her left hand holds an object against her blouse. A dog-like creature looks out by legs at her left side. Water flows from the mouth of a face at her feet, which is decorated with bunches of grapes, into a basin decorated with bunting of fruit. Water then flows down from two spouts on either side of the basin into a larger, similarly decorated basin below. The fountain is set two steps up on a scalloped pedestal.
