The sculpted fountains by Massimo Bartolini find a place in a brim without cover, where the artist has placed his works with the intention of inhabiting the space and building a system of relations between sociality and rituality through and thanks to water, which here it is that of the Venetian lagoon, with its temporality, its seasons, its social rites. The brim has lost its roof, but has kept its perimeter, within which the aquatic element builds a space for meeting and sharing.
