I toret

http://www.montierzentrum.com/


Good morning everyone.
We continue to speak of curiosity about our city.
The "Toret" are little green fountain, shaped like a bull, which are present in Turin since the Thirties, all over the streets of Turin, mainly along the great boulevards and public gardens.
It seems to be about 700 in total. Initially they were made
​​of stone, then were replaced by cast iron ones. They are a particular feature of Turin. Their shape with the head of a bull was chosen because the bull is the symbol of the city.
