Faun

Complex and colourful were the events that led to the erection of the fountain in the Piazza, marked by quarrels between Bandinelli and Cellini, Ammannati and Giambologna, Danti and Moschino; in the end Ammannati prevailed; only the Neptune and the bearded sea god, however, were by Bartolomeo's own hand, while various assistants worked on the other figures. This faun is attributed to Guglielmo Fiammingo.
