The well curb was originally located in the seventeenth-century Palazzo Soleri (Corso d’Augusto 241) which the aristocratic Sister Isabella Soleri destined for the support of poor unmarried mothers and illegitimate children. Nowadays the Palazzo houses the Fondazione San Giuseppe per l’Aiuto Materno e Infantile Onlus, a historic Riminese institution, awarded the Sigismondo d’Oro in 2010. The Foundation takes care of children and young people sent there by the Juvenile Court; they live in social-educational structures, residential and semi-residential, which support them in their development.
The well curb, after being restored, is now placed in front of the central market after the recent requalification works.
