Rhea Silvia

In the sculptures of the fountain, Quercia's line, of Gothic stamp, overcomes the original decorativeness of its fluid and sinuous course in a new, powerful and monumental constructiveness, enclosing and defining robust masses and sculpturally animated planes; and thus becomes a source of movement and an essential instrument of a synthesis of extraordinary power.
