Mosaic artwork by Lucia Caroli
There is an interplay between the Byzantine blue that spouts from the base of the fountain, like water from a spring, tumbling back into the middle of it and the gold that gushes from the middle and cascades down the outer surface. The real treasure of the piece, though, is not what one sees but the water that gushes and gurgles inside, water that is the fount of life and an increasingly precious resource for mankind.
