Europe Italy Piedmont Fontana Angelica (Angelica Fountain ) Mask and water
Europe Italy Piedmont Fontana Angelica Angeliac ( Fountain ) Mask and water Angelica Fountain was designed by the sculptor from Turin. Giovanni Riva and opened October 28, 1929. The Angelica Fountain in Piazza Solferino was built according to rules and Masonic historically had been requested from the City by the grand 'Official Pietro Bajnotti in memory of their parents, and should have been placed in front of the Cathedral. In esoteric key to move the selection where it is today was wrong, because the fountain has lost the eastward orientation. Just as there appears to be composed of four groups of statues resting on foundations of granite: the sides are two groups of women, the Spring and Summer, the highest position in the center there are two male figures pouring water from a bottle, Autumn and Winter. Spring is sitting on a mantle of flowers and a hand caressing a child who throws a flock of swallows in the air, behind them there is another child that lifts the mantle where the woman sits. Summer is on the right side resting on bundles of wheat and neighbor has a child who holds a wreath of apples, pears and grapes. The Fall, Young, is leaning against the keel of a ship and hides in one hand a rose a bit 'faded, and the figure is surrounded by a wreath of pomegranates and on the other hand there is a child playing with pineapple, banana and cobs. Winter is a bearded figure, and frowning, leaning against a strain of the bare branches and gnarled oak tree, his hand grabs the bottle shaped like a ram, resting an eagle with one wing open. On the back is a smiling child with her hair arranged radially, and another boy offers him a large fish, while a third plays with a wreath of pine cones. The hidden meaning of the work? The Winter looks toward the east, and together with the Fall, is the Giants Jaquim and Boaz, the two supporters of the Pillars of Hercules, the guardians of the threshold that leads to infinity.
