The waterways 'Pozzo a Monte, Fonaniola, Pozzo Peluso, Fontana a Valle, Fontana nuova'.
'A fentane a bballe, The fountain in the valley is the most characteristic of Toro's discrete heritage of rural wells and fountains, scattered throughout an agro-agriculture poor in spring water, and as such a centuries-old problem of Toro, which became more pronounced in summer, to the point of becoming dramatic.
The ancient Valley Fountain, located at Fentaneiole (i.e. Fontaniole, small fountains, including the Fontaniola proper and the Pozzo Peluso) is still rich in water. The water is brackish and undrinkable but was once excellent for irrigating the surrounding vegetable gardens and watering the 'cars', i.e. donkeys, mules and horses.
Because of its characteristic structure, with a double cistern to the right and left of the central stack, while a second stack is to the left of the onlooker, the Fountain in the Valley is an essential stop on the Ecological Walk held every year from the village to the Ponte di Toro, along The Water Way.
