Summary
[edit]DescriptionDSCF1583-Statue-Fontana della Vergogna-Palermo-Sicilia-Italy-Castielli CC0-HQ.jpg |
Italiano: La fontana Pretoria, situata sull'omonima piazza a Palermo, è celebrata come una delle più belle d'Italia. La sua storia ha inizio in Toscana quando Don Pedro de Toledo, padre d’Eleonora e suocero di Cosimo I de' Medici Granduca di Toscana, commissionò agli scultori Francesco Camilliani e Michelangelo Naccherino una fontana per lo splendido giardino del suo palazzo fiorentino. Morto però l'illustre committente nel 1552, la fontana, grazie alla mediazione di Don Garçia de Toledo, figlio primogenito ed erede di Don Pedro, venne acquistata dal Senato palermitano che pensò di collocarla nella piazza su cui prospetta il Palazzo Pretorio. Per far posto alla monumentale realizzazione, concepita per un luogo aperto, vennero demolite diverse abitazioni. La cura della ricostruzione della fontana "stupendissima" – al dir di Giorgio Vasari – fu affidata a Camillo Camilliani, figlio di Francesco che ultimò i suoi interventi nel 1581. La Fontana Pretoria è costituita da tre vasche concentriche da cui prende l'avvio il gioco d'acqua che viene versata dal piccolo puttino al centro. Le varie divinità mitologiche rappresentate sembrano danzare attorno al nucleo principale, creando un fantasmagorico effetto scenografico. E' considerata una tra le più belle creazioni del manierismo palermitano. Per tutto il settecento e parte dell'ottocento fu considerata una sorta di rappresentazione della corrotta municipalità cittadina, che vide in quelle immagini il riflesso e i personaggi discutibili del tempo. Oggi nel "piano del Pretore" incarna una strabiliante creazione che fà di questa piazza un elemento di spicco nel variegato centro storico cittadino, tra monumenti d'età medioevale, tardorinascimentali e barocchi. |
