The fountain and the wash-house were buit in the twenties and until not many years ago they represented one of the most frequented places by the community of the town. This was because not all the houses had water on tap and consequently they went to the fountain to take the water for a domestic use. The wash-house has three washing tubs built in local calcareous stone (Cave Cozzo Morto) and was used regularly until the sixties to wash clothes. Even today it's occasionally used by the housewives to wash raw wool.
