Fontana dell'Esedra, Public fountain in Mostra d'Oltremare, Naples, Italy.
The Fontana dell'Esedra spans 900 square meters with 76 trapezoidal pools arranged in four concentric half-rings around a central water basin.
Architects Carlo Cocchia and Luigi Piccinato designed this monumental fountain in 1938, which opened in 1940 as part of the Italian colonial exhibition.
The fountain's inauguration featured a dedicated symphony called Fontane d'Oltremare, combining synchronized water displays with orchestral music.
The fountain operates with 1300 brass and bronze nozzles, producing water jets reaching 40 meters high through an advanced hydraulic system.
Eight hundred colored projectors illuminate 4000 cubic meters of water, creating synchronized displays among seventy-six cascading basins.
