| Pictured is an ancient water well in the Piazza della Cisterna in San Gimignano, Italy. The underground cistern was built in 1287. The cistern is capped by a travertine octagonal pedestal, which was built in 1346 under the mayor Guccio Malavolti whose coat of arms with the ladder is carved onto the stones, and is close to the center of the square. A rock pigeon stands on the top step of the pedestal. |
