The Fontana Maggiore
📍 Italy
The Fontana Maggiore is a pivotal piece of medieval sculpture in Perugia, offering an ideal background for photo enthusiasts. Constructed between 1275 and 1278, this fountain stands as a symbol of the city's independence and a celebration of the completion of the aqueduct. Designed by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, its basins are decorated with biblical scenes, historical events, and the zodiac signs, providing a rich tapestry of narratives for detailed photography. Located in Piazza IV Novembre, the fountain is surrounded by the Perugia Cathedral and Palazzo dei Priori, which add to the historic ambiance. For the best lighting, consider visiting during the golden hour, when the sun illuminates the sculptures, highlighting their intricate details and the water’s reflective beauty. Avoid crowd hours for a more serene shoot.
