The Fountana de łe tete is an old fountain in Treviso, Italy. Under the Venetian Republic it poured white and red wine during special celebrations. The name translates into English as "The Fountain of Tits" and is usually translated in Italian as "Fontana delle tette". It features a topless woman squeezing her breasts and water coming out of her nipples.

The Fontana de łe tete was built in 1559 on the orders of Alvise Da Ponte, at the time mayor of the Republic of Venice, as a result of a severe drought that struck the city of Treviso and the surrounding countryside. Originally the statue was placed inside the Praetorian Palace, in via Calmaggiore. In the autumn of every year of the autumn in honor of every new Podesta, red wine flowed from the nipple of one breast, and white wine from nipple of the other breast, and all citizens could drink the wine for free for three days.
