Campari not only aperitif now famous bitter from its inventor
Davide Campari
Le Piastre in the province of Pistoia hosts one of the three
fountains made in Italy that supplied drinking water to anyone
Campari Fountain
The first Campari Fountain that we are going to describe will be
the one in the province of Pistoia built by Giuseppe Gronchi
sculptor to advertise the homonymous company
This fountain is the best preserved because it is still composed
with decorative heads and advertising lettering
Fountain in Chiusi della Verna
it dates back to the 1930s again created from the idea of Davide Campari
as an excellent form of advertising
Whoever arrived in Chiusi della Verna could drink from this fountain
Campari not only an aperitif but an Idea
Davide Campari had an idea of having these three fountains built
because he wanted to celebrate the Bitter Campari product and its
business for more tha 70 years.
Furthermore this served to give water to the italian population
which at that time he did not have water in the houses
The Italian population on average engaged in agricultural activity
and not in big industry could benefit from this public service
In Italy we not only these fountains you will find
in Brunate (province of Como) part of a series of about thirty fountains
designed by the same Giusepe Gronchi
Ricovery
it seems that of the Casentino women there were 7 of the them
undertaken the recovery of these works through fundraising
spontaneously and independently
