CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Giovanni Da Bologna , about 1524; d. at Florence in 1608. gives little information about this eminent . He calls him "a youth of great talent and of spirit" and says he was one of the competitors with Cellini for the colossal figure of Neptune in his chariot drawn by sea horses. The duke, who was to decide the competition, although assured that Giovanni's model was superior to the others, did not confide the undertaking to him. We can judge of what he would have made of that commission from the bronze Neptune prepared for the fountain at Bologna.
