An ornate, dark grey, five-headed cast-iron streetlamp is centrally positioned on a patch of unkempt green grass in the Giardini della Montagnola, Bologna, Italy. The streetlamp features a decorative base, a fluted column, and five glass globes, and rests on a light-colored stone plinth. Behind the streetlamp, a monumental retaining wall rises, constructed from light-toned stone blocks; the lower section consists of large, rough-hewn blocks, while the upper section features more regularly cut blocks with a decorative frieze bearing the inscription "CANNOCCHIALE DOCET" and a balustrade. On a higher level, beyond the wall, a second, smaller ornate streetlamp is visible to the right, along with a dark green metal fence/gate and dense green tree foliage. A lone individual in a blue top is faintly discernible walking on the upper level behind the fence. The foreground grass contains scattered brown autumn leaves and a few pieces of white litter. The scene is illuminated by diffuse light from an overcast sky.
