Q:
Is the water fountain turned off at certain times of the year? I visited Bologna in early March 2019 and while I I assume the restoration works were finished as there were no fences or any sign of work the fountain was not running.

Hi Andher, when we visited in June the renovation was still happening. I would guess that it is completed by now but if not you can still get good views of the statue from the Piazza. There are many other wonderful things to see in the area. Enjoy your visit.

During the last year they have renovated it. I do not think they have finished their work, so the water has to wait.
