I looked in my "photographic archive" some images that matches for this challenge... I hope I succeeded in my intention!
The Elephant Fountain is a monument built between 1735 and 1737 by the architect Giovanni Battista Vaccarini. It is located in the center of the Piazza del Duomo in Catania. Its main element is a statue of black basalt depicting an elephant, commonly called "u Liotru" and considered the emblem of Catania.
On the back is an Egyptian obelisk of granite, 3.66 meters high.
