“They had reached the end of La Cerchiata's leafy tunnel and dashed across an open lawn into a grove of cork trees. Now they were looking out at the Boboli's most famous spouting fountain—Stoldo Lorenzi's bronze of Neptune clutching his three-pronged trident. Irreverently known by locals as ‘The Fountain of the Fork,’ this water feature was considered the central point of the gardens.” (Dan Brown, Inferno)
