Aged stone fountain with a headless classical statue in a niche at Villa d'Este, Tivoli, Italy.

A detailed close-up of a historic, weathered fountain within the magnificent gardens of Villa d'Este in Tivoli, Italy. The centerpiece is a headless classical statue, its stone form showing a beautiful patina of age, set within a warm, ochre-colored niche.
