EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of the "Fontana Maggiore" (Main Fountain) and the Town Hall in Piazza IV novembre in Perugia. The image, taken around 1950, showcases a stunning architectural masterpiece that has withstood the test of time. The Fontana Maggiore, created between 1275-1278 by Bevignate da Perugia, Giovanni Pisano, and Nicola Pisano, stands proudly at the heart of this historic Italian city. Its Gothic design is a testament to the artistic brilliance of these renowned artists from centuries past. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era where Europe was flourishing during the Middle Ages. The intricate arches, building elements, and decorative sections evoke a sense of awe and wonderment. We can almost imagine ourselves walking through those ancient streets as we admire this remarkable piece of architecture. The composition beautifully captures every detail – from the cusp and spire to the basin's flowing water – highlighting both its hydraulic structure and natural elements surrounding it. The square or piazza setting adds to its grandeur while providing a space for people to gather and appreciate their surroundings. The inclusion of stairs leading up to three light windows further enhances our fascination with this historical gem. It reminds us that this fountain not only served as a source of water but also played an essential role in connecting different levels within Perugia's urban landscape. This print by Fernando Pasta allows us to marvel at how artistry transcends time. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation; this magnificent fountain continues to captivate visitors from all over the world with its undeniable charm.
