In a quiet corner of the First Section of Chapultepec Forest, visitors can find the Fountain of the Love Idyll, a bronze sculpture created in 1974 by the Puebla-born artist of Lebanese origin, Charlotte Yazbek.

It is one of four copies of this piece found in Mexico. Yazbek named it Adagio in honor of the Italian musician Tomaso Albinoni’s composition of the same name, which she often listened to while sculpting. Adagio en honor a la pieza homónima del músico italiano Tomaso Albinoni, que solía escuchar mientras esculpía.

On one side, you can read the inscription: “I will cast in bronze the roundness of your kiss and my kiss, and I will place it at the center of your forgetting so that you do not forget it.”
