Fontana Maggiore is a renowned medieval fountain located in the heart of Perugia, Italy, in Piazza IV Novembre. Completed between 1275 and 1278, the fountain was designed by the father-son duo Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. It features a two-tiered, polygonal basin adorned with intricate bas-reliefs and sculptures that depict scenes from the Old Testament, representations of the months of the year, and allegories of various subjects. The upper basin is crowned with three bronze nymphs holding an urn from which water flows.
