Starting from Rimini, let’s sit on the edge of Fontana della Pigna (once in Piazza dell’Arengo, today in Piazza Cavour) to observe the water just like Leonardo did, which described the fountain’s harmonious effect in his secret notes: “Fassi un’armonia colle diverse cadute d’acqua, come vedesti alla fonte di Rimini, come vedesti addì 8 d’agosto 1502”.
A verse that leads us back in time, when the fountain was to become, as can be seen from Leonardo’s drawings, a futuristic device that would have used water not as a pump, but by making the water sound, while falling into vases of different shapes.
