About the artwork

This photo art piece shows a marble fountain with two lion heads pouring water into a drinking trough can be found in Citta della Pieve in Umbria, Italy. This is the Fontana at the Rocca Perugina, a medieaval fortress. The trough is large enough for horses, as well as people, to drink from. The date carved into the marble lip of the fountain is MCMXXIII which is 1923 and I imagine this must have been put there as part of some restoration. It has the words in Latin Sic Vos Non Vobis which literally translates to 'so you, not for you'. It is said to relate to something the Roman poet Virgil wrote as follows:

« Sic vos non vobis nidificatis aves,

Sic vos non vobis vellera fertis oves,

Sic vos non vobis mellificatis apes,

Sic vos non vobis fertis aratra boves »

("So you, but not for yourselves, nest birds,

So you, but not for you, produce sheep's wool,

So you, but not for you, make bees honey,

So you, but not for you, bring the plow oxen»)
