The figure of Neptune, made of white Carrara marble and which recalls the features of Cosimo I de' Medici, was an allusion to the maritime dominion of Florence; it stands on a pedestal decorated with the statues of Scylla and Charybdis in the center of the octagonal basin. Although the statue was not particularly appreciated (it is said that the Florentines who came to the night inauguration of the statue upon discovering the work noticed the whiteness of the statue more than its beauty, hence the name "Biancone" and coined the motto "Ammannato, Ammannato, che bel marmo hai rovinato!") the work continued over the next ten years, with the help of the best sculptors in the city for the edge of the basin. At the feet of Neptune are three tritons intent on playing tibias that spurt water. The basin is octagonal and contains the four horses of Neptune's chariot, whose wheels are celestial wheels with the signs of the zodiac, symbolizing the passage of time
Stefano Bardini (1836–1922) was an Italian connoisseur and art dealer in Florence who specialized in Italian paintings, Renaissance sculpture, cassoni and other Renaissance and Cinquecento furnishings and architectural fragments. Working as a restorer many well-known works of Renaissance art bear a Bardini provenience. The National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, has some twenty works that passed through his hands, notably the Benedetto da Maiano Madonna and Child, the Bernardo Daddi Saint Paul and the Portrait of a Youth by Filippino Lippi. The Metropolitan Museum of Art conserves eight paintings that Bardini once owned, including Veronese's Boy with a Greyhound, and Giovanni di Paolo's Coronation of the Virgin from the Robert Lehman collection. His bequest to the city of Florence resulted in the opening of the Museo Bardini in 1923; the Giardino Bardini across from it is also his legacy
