Aretusa e Alfeo - === foto © Eugenio Costa - Tutti i diritti riservati ===

            Scultura in bronzo di Biagio Tommaso Poidiniani all'interno della Fonte Aretusa « ...Io non cerco che dissonanze Alfeo, qualcosa di più della perfezione. Non un luogo dell'infanzia cerco, e seguendo sottomare il fiume, già prima della foce di Aretusa, annodare la corda spezzata dell'arrivo » (Salvatore Quasimodo in Seguendo l'Alfeo.) Nella fonte Aretusa infatti è ambientata la leggenda di Aretusa e Alfeo, uno dei miti più affascinanti di Siracusa. Il fascino visivo di una fonte d'acqua dolce che giunge per via sotterranea sino all'isola per poi riversare le sue acque in mare, E' uno specchio d'acqua nell'isola di Ortigia, nella parte più antica della città, luogo di incontro tra realtà e leggenda, uno dei più bei monumenti di Siracusa. La fonte Aretusa è ad oggi il cuore di Ortigia, luogo di ritrovo e passeggio più volte sottratto al rischio di prosciugamento. Svariati terremoti nei secoli hanno minacciato il secolare afflusso di acqua, sino a pochi anni fa quando la siccità e forse persino i lavori di costruzione del terzo ponte, hanno ridotto la portata di acqua alla fonte mettendo a rischio la salute del papiro, che cresce all'interno della pozza. 

Bronze sculpture by Biagio Tommaso Poidiniani inside the Fonte Aretusa «... I do not seek that dissonance Alfeo, something more than perfection. Not a place of childhood I look for, and following the river below, already before the mouth of Aretusa, knot the broken rope of the arrival "(Salvatore Quasimodo in Seguendo l'Alfeo.) In the source Aretusa in fact the legend of Aretusa is set and Alfeo, one of the most fascinating myths of Syracuse. The visual charm of a freshwater source that reaches underground to the island to then pour its waters into the sea, It is a body of water on the island of Ortigia, in the oldest part of the city, place of encounter between reality and legend, one of the most beautiful monuments in Syracuse. The Aretusa source is today the heart of Ortigia, a meeting place and a promenade that has often been removed from the risk of drying up. Several earthquakes over the centuries have threatened the centuries-old influx of water, until a few years ago when the drought and perhaps even the construction work on the third bridge, reduced the flow of water to the source putting the health of the papyrus at risk, which grows at inside the puddle. - Syracuse, Italy.
