The Fountain of the Genius of Fieravecchia is a historic fountain located in Piazza Rivoluzione in the ancient quarter of Kalsa in the historic center of Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy.
The statue of the Genius of Palermo, depicting a symbol of city had been installed here in the 17th-century, but removed by the Bourbon administration after the Sicilian revolution of 1848, but after the liberation of Sicily by Garibaldi in 1860, the fountain and statue, which had become a patriotic symbol, were reunited, and the piazza renamed. The now Piazza Rivoluzione is a small square at the intersection of Via Aragona, Via Schiavuzzo, Via Piazza Teatro Santa Cecilia, Via Divisi, and Via Garibaldi. It borders on the church of San Carlo dei Milanesi and one block east of both the Palazzo Valguarnera Gangi and the Regio Teatro Santa Cecilia.
