The bronze giant sculpted by Bartolomeo Ammannati (1511-1592) between 1563 and 1565, for the park of Villa di Castello, in Florence. The Fountain of January. At the center of a quadrangular fountain, this muscular man crouches on a rock, his eyes staring in the middle distance, as if he were lost in the woods. He tries to protect himself with his own arms, in vain. On our calendars, January opens the door to the new year (the name “January” comes from the Latin “Ianuarius”, meaning “of Janus”, the Roman god of doors and change).via: Italian Ways -- source link
