About the Item
Sculpture model of the concrete Rationalist fountain In Como by Cattaneo e Radice 1935.
This is a perfect reproduction of the real sculpture in Como, painted wood built on top of a slab of solid red Italian marble
What do you envisage when you think of the Italian Lakes? It probably isn’t a design movement called Italian Rationalism, but the town of Como, on the lake of the same name, gave birth to this new style in the 1920s. Rationalism embraced classical order and proportion, along with encouraging the use of industrial materials and designing for practicality. Mario Radice and Cesare Cattaneo, part of the Gruppo di Como, which formed around this aesthetic, collaborated on this striking and bold sculpture. The Camerlata Fountain may not look very practical, but it also has the amusingly mundane task of increasing the visibility of a traffic island.
Its planners were the architect Cesar Cattaneo and the painter Mario Radice. The idea was born in 1935 but the realization took place only the following year, during the VI International Triennial of architecture and of decorative arts of Milano.
After the exhibition it was destroyed and, in the 1960, rebuilt and placed at the center of the public square of Camerlata.
It is an abstract sculpture, with proportionate dimensions to the space that surrounds it: the spheres and the great candid circles, in a musical game of geometric relationships, are animated from the water and the green of the flower-bed that is the base of the fountain.
