Wisdom

The fountain in the Campo (1400-1419), consisted of a rectangular basin surrounded on three sides by a high parapet, decorated with bas-reliefs of the Madonna, the Virtues and depictions of the Creation of Adam and the Expulsion from Eden; on the front pillars of the enclosure, two statues, interpreted as Rhea Silvia and Acca Larentia, or as allegories of Charity.
