Swans in the fountain of Piazza Pretoria

The photographic nature of the view and the lowered view point make the heads of animals decorating the Renaissance fountain stand out and create a contrast between the noble figures, scarred by time, and the swans ‘parade’ swimming in the fountain, while a smiling and curious young woman bends over from the balustrade. The theme of the fountain with swans is to be intended as a symbolic reference to the human condition.
