A small fountain located in the municipality of Rionero but known as "the Barile fountain". It is located between the 2 municipalities and was restored a few years ago thanks to the good will of local artists and poets (from Rionero and Barile). The water is drinkable and delicious, it's a must to fill your water bottle 😉
