Nice playful fountain. This setting 'The Children's Swing' takes you back to your childhood.
Interpretation: What was called Piazza delle Poste, contrary to Garibaldi, is known as the 'Children's Fountain' but called the 'Swing' by the sculptor Nereo Quagliato, has been reborn into new life by returning to more radiant than before. The Municipality of Vicenza has recovered its usefulness and beauty after the three years of absence, and announced this to the press on Monday with complete satisfaction with Mayor Francesco Rucco, Councilor of Infrastructure Mattia Ierardi, the President of Fitt Spa by Sandrigo Alessandro Mezzalira, the engineer Renato Cecchin, the architect Giuseppe Pianezzola, the architect Vittorio Veller and employees of the company Lino Balazarin of Altavilla Vicentina.
The fountain, designed by architect Vittorio Gheller, is not just a sculpture, but a monument of contemporary art. A trait d'union between Piazza Duomo and Piazza delle Poste that represents an enormous value for the bronze sculptures of Nereo Quagliato.
