The Fountain of Neptune or just “Il Nettuno” as locals call it, it’s also known as "al Zigânt" (the Giant) in Bolognese dialect because of the size of the statue of Neptune. At the time of its construction it was a symbol of the power of the Pope, who ruled the world like Neptune ruled the seas. At the feet of the statue, in fact, lie four little angels, representing Gange, the Nile, the Amazon and Danube, the rivers of the continents known at the time.The trident of the statue inspired and it was used by Maserati brothers as emblem for their first car, the Maserati Tipo 26. This is still today the logo of the Maserati car company. The fountain and its sculpture are one of the most iconic symbols of the city and references to them can be found in many symbols, commercials and logos. The historical students' fraternity (Goliardia) "Excelsa Neptuni Balla", has two tridents on its emblem. The Bolognese anecdote also tells of a particular expedient implemented by Giambologna, who intended to find a way to make Neptune with realistic genitals, without being discovered and admonished by the Church. The sculptor designed the statue in such a way that from a particular angle the thumb of Neptune's outstretched hand seems to emerge directly from the lower abdomen, making him suggest the (erect) genital; as proof of the same, in the pavement of the square there is a black stone, also called "of shame" placed in a very specific point in piazza del Nettuno (to be precise at the foot of the entrance stairway to the Salaborsa library) which facilitates its vision.

路中寒梅
In Florence's central square market, the statue is very delicate, people like to touch its nose when passing by, so the nose is very bright. The specific story really didn't pay attention, and I took it when I looked cute.

The Dionysus Theatre is located in Athens, also known as The Dionysus Theatre, located on the south side of the Acropolis, built on the mountain, naturally forming a semicircle slightly greater than 180 degrees, surrounded by three slopes, set up an open open open-air stage, and built a ladder-shaped seat on the slope. It is a huge open-air amphitheater. The Adikus Theatre on the west side is still open to visitors for summer open-air concerts and theatre performances, and the Dionysus Theatre on the east side is open to visitors as a attraction. The theater was built in the 5th century BC and was the first place to pray to the Dionysus.
