The cisterns were topped with stone wellheads that often were decorated with floral motifs, symbols family crests or emblems. Wellheads were not only functional but also enhanced the architecture and aesthetics of the city and were a medium through which the government, “scuole Grandi”, and noble patricians expressed their identity.
