Fountain of Democracy or Abundance

In 1897 the aqueduct was built for the city of Porto San Giorgio, and, to celebrate the important event, it was decided to ask Alfonso Bernardini to create a sculpture that would celebrate forever such an important work for all citizens. In the upper part of the entire sculpture, placed above a globe, a majestic female figure stands (an allegory of democracy) holding a pomegranate in her right hand and ears of corn in her left hand, symbols of fertility and abundance respectively.
