Fresh relief!

The Madonna Verona fountain in Piazza Erbe is a fav place for children (and not only) in summer. I stopped here for about twenty minutes as my daughter wanted to get her daily fresh walk; during the time I was there at least 15 children stopped to walk in the freezing water of the old marble fountain... I was rather tempted...

Madonna Verona Fountain

I was again in Piazza delle Erbe yesterday, when I took this photo. A warm jumper and sunglasses, my step slow in this bright sunny morning, I kept stopping and observing and I took many photos. The fountain caught my attention more than anything else. The water was enlightened by the sun rays and it fell in the marble pool with delicate splash sounds.

I looked up and admired the marble roman statue named Madonna Verona. Somehow it testifies that this square has been used as a marketplace for two thousand years! The building facing the fountain is called Case dei Mazzanti and was built and frescoed in the first half of the XVI century. A friend of mine live in this building and has a couple of windows overlooking the square! I totaly love this view!

So, which is your favourite view in your town?
