Before we had painted our greatest canvases or trained our most celebrated condottieri, we had already declared our ambition in water and stone — the Fontana Maggiore, sculpted by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano and fed by a new aqueduct the whole commune funded, rising at the heart of Perugia as proof that no city in central Italy was richer, prouder, or more capable of collective ambition. The fountain gathered every saint, every trade good, and every classical virtue into a single monument and said with marble what no charter could say as well. This civic statement draws pilgrims and merchants to our center and tightens our hold over the streets they fill.
