Stone table with Fountain of Giants above, Villa Lante, Bagnaia June 2023 The long pepperino stone tabe at the center of this level of the gardens was used for eating outdoors. It's sides are decorated with masks that chennel water below along the sides of the table. In the center of the table is a long narrow tub by which the viewer's gaze is drawn toward the Fountain of the Giants that provides a backdrop and links the different levels in the natural slope. The two reclining giants are personifications of the River Arno and the River Tiber, symbols of the two souls of Tuscia.
