Chiavari: the fountain on the seafront

Chiavari: the fountain on the seafront.
The Chiavari seafront has been modernized for several years: one of the most important interventions was the construction of this modern fountain, of large dimensions, facing the sea. The realization of this work has aroused both criticism and perplexity and positive comments, personally in the context of a modern seafront promenade I find it quite beautiful!

La fontana dei quattro continenti a Trieste

The world is represented by four allegorical statues that recall the features of the people who lived in the continents then known (Europe, Asia, Africa and America).
The water flowed from four allegorical figures of rivers, always indicating the continents. The representation of the Nile has a veiled face, since the sources were unknown at that time.

Ancona, la fontana dei cavalli

La fontana ricorda con le sue sculture i due aspetti del mare, entrambi conosciuti dai marinai anconitani: i cavalli marini, sacri a Poseidone, ricordano le tempeste che secondo la mitologia il dio del mare poteva scatenare; i delfini, sacri ad Afrodite, ricordano invece la buona navigazione.

fontana del calamo

Sul luogo sorgeva già anticamente una fontana in epoca greca, che venne inglobata nelle mura cittadine durante il Medioevo. La sua denominazione sembra derivare dalla parola latina Càlamus, “Canna”, a testimonianza che si era dominati da un ambiente di tipo palustre.

La fontana in passeggiata a Chiavari.
Queste immagini erano già presenti diverso tempo fa sul sito.

Le avevo scattate il giorno dell’inaugurazione di questa fontana.
Mi sono ricapitate sotto mano e, visto che non erano più sul sito, ho deciso di ricondividerle perchè mi sembrano molto carine.
Ritraggono i giochi di luce che crea la fontana in passeggiata a mare di Chiavari, splendide no?

The parks and squares in the center of Stockholm.
As Rino used to say, “you could go to Stockholm…” and I’ve been there.
What a beautiful city! Maybe it was because it was summer, but it really impressed me.
This is one of the photos of the square with fountains that is right in the center.
