The Fontana Maggiore in Perugia is the last known monument on which Nicola Pisano worked. It was a collaboration among father, son Giovanni and engineers for the hydraulics. Commissioned by the city fathers, the fountain carries political and allegorical allusions to one of the basic rights of every Roman citizen, access to free water. The fountain is oriented on the points of the compass and serves as a hub of the city.
This view shows the Piazza 4 Novembre in Perugia. Pisano's Fontana Maggiore is in the centre of the square; the Palazzo dei Priori is on the left side and the Duomo on the right side.
