Camerlata fountain, Concrete fountain in Camerlata district, Como, Italy.
The fountain incorporates geometric shapes with spherical elements and large circles, creating a balanced composition enhanced by flowing water and surrounding greenery.
The structure was first built in 1935 by architect Cesare Cattaneo and painter Mario Radice, then rebuilt in the 1960s after its wartime demolition.
The fountain represents Italian rationalist architecture principles through its concrete construction and geometric design, earning national heritage status in 2021.
