The Sound of the Roman Fountains

Whoever comes to Rome thinks of the Colosseum, a light westerly breeze blowing through the cafes on Via Veneto, the Dolce Vita of the great Fellini, and the embrace of the Pope in St. Peter’s Square.

Rome is also about water with its 2500 fountains. Flowing transparency which enchants out gaze and carries it far away, the sparkling of a thousand silver squirts, the glittering drops that become pearls flying free in the city.

Fountains play a music that is song and prayer, harp and violin. They are the notes of a melody born of eternity, chords that walk together with the mystery of man.

THE FOUNTAINS OF ROME

As you've ever seen...

The 2,500 fountains of Rome, scattered in the streets, squares, parks, courtyards, are the soul of this project.

This is an audiovisual work that makes a technical interpretation of the musical language and cultural value of the suggestive power of these elements of urban, rich in beauty, and often in history, not infrequently true works of art, always sources of artistic inspiration.

The work is based on the language of music: there are no comments, either technical or historical information on fountains.

Only the music seals the images, enriched by the sounds of water every fountain, which comes to life with showing her authentic voice.

The work is an artistic celebration of the city of Rome, reflected in its fountains, which tell the ages of life, whose legacy is collected, transmitted and renewed by contemporary musicians.The fountains and the composers who have participated with their lyrics to the realization of the work are:
