Initially, the lions were not here, and were, as usual, sculptures of Greek myths. Lvov was presented to the fountain by the sculptor Prokofiev - the son of the cutter and a talented pupil of the best craftsmen. And the fountain itself was redesigned in an contemporary form by the architect Stakenschneider - great-grandson tanners from the German city of Braunschweg. In tsarist times in Rossi, children of a commoner could gain talent and fame for themselves through the ages. Translated with Google Translate
