I’m extremely disappointed to say the least, we planned our whole day around this and now can’t even get in elsewhere because of the short notice. Completely ruined our...

Can't tell if it's because we got there in the evening around 6pm or because it was a weekday, but without the actual fountain it's just an ugly concrete block with a muddy pit beside it, and actually spoils the view. The walk there from Como is quite nice though. Edit - did see it on, only once! - on Saturday morning only, when going past on a boat (but not on Sunday). So pretty...
