Water distribution in Sanremo

(edited by Roberto Monfroni)

The fountains

The history of the fountains of Sanremo starts from the opening of the first Aqueduct in 1828 wanted by the then mayor Siro Andrea Carli.
Before that time there were few sources from which to get water, both for drinking and for the irrigation of the gardens.
This aqueduct allowed the construction of four fountains, scattered in the most strategic points of the city.
The other fountains came later, as described in the dedicated chapter. (to learn more click here)
