Perche?" Indeed, the stone cherubs never stopped, and made such an awful and pain-filled sound that the fountain had to be demolished by explosives. A single stone angel head was gathered by villagers and hidden in a deep well until Mussolini was overthrown, which is the exact moment the head stopped crying.
