VICENZA, Italy. Villa Capra

VICENZA, Italy

Villa Almerico Capra or La Rotonda. The atrium of the front

the Renaissance style by the architect Andrea Palladio (Padua,
30 November 1508 - Maser, Treviso, 19 August 1580) and built between 1566 and 1585. In 1994 he was registered, with other works of Palladio, in the list of World Heritage of UNESCO.

KØBENHAVN, Denmark. Caritasbrønden

KØBENHAVN, Denmark
Strøget, Gammeltorv

Caritasbrønden, the oldest fountain of the city, built in 1608 in Renaissance style. At the top is the allegorical sculpture of Charity, symbolized by a pregnant mother with her children. The figure, originally made of wood by the German sculptor of the 17th century Statius Otto, was reproduced in bronze to put on this fountain. The woman throws water on her breasts, and a child urinated in the fountain’s water. In 1890 were placed golden dolphins around the figure, whose nakedness was considered obscene.
