Founded as Zancle in the second half of the 8th century BC. by Chalcidian Greeks, its name was changed to Messene in about 490 BC. with the arrival of settlers from Messenia.

Messina in Sicilia - Fontana del Nettuno
La fontana del Nettuno è stata realizzata da fra' Giovanni Angelo da Montorsoli nel 1557 su commissione del Senato di Messina e in stretta collaborazione con il grande umanista e matematico locale Francesco Maurolico.
Il Dio (il cui originale si trova nel museo insieme a Scilla) sorge calmo e invincibile con, in mano, il terribile tridente che scuote la terra; le mostruose Scilla e Cariddi incatenate ai suoi piedi, lanciano frattanto urla bestiali. La fontana, che nella collocazione cinquecentesca si trovava a pochi passi dal mare e con Nettuno rivolto verso la città, doveva essere ammirata con lo sfondo azzurro del porto, come se i personaggi raffigurati fossero appena sorti dalle acque e con il gesto di possesso di Nettuno riferito alla città.
