The drinking fountains of Milan are commonly called Vedovelle or Drago-Verde depending on the frequentations of the various districts or places in the city. The name of Vedovella derives from the fact that the water comes out of the tap without interruption and therefore it may seem like a solitary widow who cries. While Dragon-Green derives from the fact that the cast-iron structure is typically green with a brass faucet in the shape of a dragon. Anyway, look for the history of these so characteristic artifacts and that, strange but true, they have been made in the same way for almost a hundred years, it is very difficult.
