Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox artwork Fontana del Bacchino is an Italian Renaissance sculpture of 1560 by Valerio Cioli (1529-1599) in the Boboli Gardens in Florence featuring a statue in the likeness of the famed dwarf buffoon from the court of Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Nano Morgante modeled after Bacchus and riding a tortoise.[1] In 1572 the statue was turned into a fountain.[2]

In popular culture

In the first (of four) programs in the Israeli series "Lool", cast member Uri Zohar recounts how a friend sent a postcard with a photo on the statue, which inspired the members of the Lool group to write a song called "The Man on the Turtle" (lyrics: Shalom Hanoch, music: Robb Huxley). Following the narration the group is shown performing the song, along with footage of a store front display in Tel Aviv which include the postcard and reactions from passers by.[3]
