Fontana di palazzo Mongalli, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Mongalli palace fountain
Palazzo Mongalli, formerly Fraticelli, dates back to the 16th century. The remarkable construction is characterized by stone windows and stringcourses and by a very articulated plan. On the sides of the portal, divided by two half columns in terracotta, there are two stone seats provided "for the people", a unique example of this type in Spoleto; other seats, of different make, are located on the sides of the portal of the former Church of San Nicolò.
On the wall of the inner courtyard, ignored by Spoleto themselves, you can admire an imposing seventeenth-century font with three basins, with the coat of arms of the Sansi family above it. The water came out of two cannulas camouflaged inside the fake spongy rock.

Ciao Silvio,la foto principale è parecchio sgangherata,non si capisce se il pavimento è in discesa verso sinistra o è stato un maldestro tentativo di correzione prospettica,sicuramente meglio i due WS, specialmente la vista larga con la fontana incorniciata tra le arcate. Buon weekend,Luciano

Ciao Silvio,
I am glad that you have included the workshop photos, they allow us to better imaging the location of the fountain in the courtyard and some details as well.
The light was challenging here but you managed it well.
Nice addition to your series of fountains, what a great collection!

Hello Silvio,
An interesting small fountain captured with your usual well treated light. WS #2 gives us a better idea of the location.
Best regards,

silvio

that part sculpted above the cup isn't so clear to see, maybe flowers... nice the classic and simple design of the fountain protected by the rain and sun.

take care

Bonjour, cher ami Silvio,
Vous êtes un guide très précieux à travers vos images et vos explications.
J'ai l'impression de faire un voyage à vos côtés.
Amitiés.

Ciao caro Silvio, So many fountains in Spoleto! I looked in Google and Spoleto is such a small town. How it is possible that there are so many churches, fountains, palaces? I must do a virtual walk and check all this. This composition is not as successful as the other ones. It hangs to the left a bit and the lack of symmetry is disturbing. I find the Workshop picture with a broader view better.

Have a nice weekend

Ciao Caro Silvio,

I think this is probably the only fountain you have shown, with seats either side, for the use of visitors. It is a thoughtful addition and makes this look a much bigger, grander fountain.
With the w/s, we get a good impression of the fountain and its setting.

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Ciao Silvio

Missed this one. Good lighting and brightness with soft natural pastel colours and superb sharpness. Well framed and composed too. I like the upper arch framing the smaller one below. Tfs!

Hi Silvio
An indoor old fountain sensibly taken with excellent detail throughout obviously the eye is pulled into its vicinity with so much heritage and culture in a place. The image is pleasantly composed and exposed with cool soft colour. Excellent shot
Best regards
