The great fountain
of the historic rose
garden. Under his
management (1942-
1964) Raffaele
Ciferri faced the
period of post-war
reconstruction, giving
the main façade of
the Botanical Garden
of the University
of Pavia (Sistema
Museale di Ateneo) its
current appearance:
he dismantled the
aquarium-house
built by Briosi and
built a monumental
semicircle staircase
that embraces the
large fountain. (Paolo
Cauzzi)
