Il Porcellino&nbsp;is the local&nbsp;Florentine&nbsp;nickname for the bronze fountain of a&nbsp;boar. The fountain figure was sculpted and cast by&nbsp;Baroque&nbsp;master&nbsp;Pietro Tacca&nbsp;(1577&ndash;1640) shortly before 1634,&nbsp;following a marble Italian copy of a&nbsp;Hellenistic&nbsp;marble original, at the time in the Grand Ducal collections and today on display in the classical section of the&nbsp;Uffizi&nbsp;Museum. The original, which was found in Rome and removed to Florence in the mid-16th century by the&nbsp;Medici, was associated from the time of its rediscovery with the&nbsp;Calydonian Boar&nbsp;of&nbsp;Greek myth. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcellino">Wikipedia</a>
