Il 15 settembre 2000 è stata inaugurata l’opera “I dormienti” by Mimmo Paladino (Paduli, Benevento, 1948), donated to the city of Poggibonsi and permanently located at the Fonte delle Fate, an 11th-century portico that covers a spring and a basin.

The inauguration was accompanied by a soundtrack composed for the occasion by Brian Eno. You can listen to a section of this music here.
