Correva l’anno1898, Torino e l’Italia intera erano in fermento per la celebrazione del cinquantesimo anniversario dello Statuto Albertino, la costituzione adottata dal Regno sardo-piemontese e firmata nel 1848 da Carlo Alberto di Savoia.
Nel capoluogo piemontese venne organizzata l’Esposizione Generale Italiana, per tributare il giusto onore allo Statuto.
La Fontana dei 12 Mesi, che si trova nel Parco del Valentino, è l’unico elemento architettonico ancora esistente dell’ampio apparato di edifici costruiti in occasione dell’Esposizione.
L’opera si trova a sud del Borgo Medievale, nella zona meridionale del Parco, ed è adagiata su un lieve pendio che dalla strada scende verso il Po.
La progettazione della fontana fu affidata a Carlo Ceppi: si tratta di un’ampia vasca ovale luminosa, alimentata da una grande cascata centrale e ornata da quattro gruppi statuari raffiguranti i fiumi torinesi (Po, Dora, Sangone, Stura) e da dodici sculture allegoriche che rappresentano i dodici mesi dell’anno.
Lo stile della fontana è un misto tra lo stile liberty e il rococò: la critica la considera “una riuscita sintesi fra Eclettismo accademico ed apertura alle novità stilistiche e tecniche”.
Nel marzo 2019, dopo 5 anni di restauro, la Fontana dei 12 Mesi di Torino è tornata a splendere. L’architettura, il posto e le leggende legate a questa fontana ne disegnano un’aura romantica e fantastica che affascina i visitatori.
Essa è chiaramente espressione dell’orgoglio della città e la sua storia è avvolta dallo stesso velo di mistero che ha sempre circondato la capitale piemontese.
E’ la gonna lunga plissè la regina incontrastata di stile per questa PE
2019, io l’ho indossata con un paio di comode sneakers e il tocco glam di un cerchietto bombato (la corona perfetta per una moderna regina), per una
indimenticabile passeggiata tra natura e architettura, in
una delle città più belle d’Italia.

The fountain of the Twelve Months in Turin (Fontana dei Dodici Mesi) is a graceful creation that you will not be able to pass without surprise: a majestic oval basin at the heart of the city, in its most beautiful park, surrounded by marble statues representing the twelve months and four seasons, as well as the rivers Po, Dora, Sangone, and Stura.
The fountain united Art Nouveau and Rococo styles.
It perfectly complements the historic Parco del Valentino on the banks of the Po River.
In the late 19th century, a huge National Exposition was held in Turin, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Statuto Albertino – the Constitution of Sardinia-Piedmont in 1848. The entire architectural complex of various buildings and structures was created to the solemn date. And the fountain is the only element of that grandiose project that has survived to this day.
The famous architect Carlo Ceppi worked on its creation, and several sculptors created statues. The opening of the fountain took place on May 1, 1898.
The Fountain of the Twelve Months in Turin’s Valentino Park is clearly an expression of the city’s pride, but its history is enveloped in the same aura of mystery that has always surrounded the Piedmontese capital city.
