The Scorpion Fountain, or water chain, marks the axis from the upper terrace gardens, with the Fountain of Dolphins, to the Fountain of Giants at the terrace that houses the Bishop's table. This scalloped chain fountain concept is borrowed directly from the entrance ramp fountain of the villino Farnese, even as it introduces the river gods and giants.
