Viterbo public fountains may be classified into three types: rectangular basin fountains (fontane a vasca rettangolare), cast fountains (fontane a fuso), and overlapping caps fountains (fontane a coppe sovrapposte). I measured multiple fountains structured in Viterbo during the 13th century to compare their shapes. The results of these measurements show that many apparent similarities exist in the basin and water pipe shapes used in rectangular basin fountains, cast fountains and overlapping caps fountains. The results from this research indicate that the fountain basins and water pipes structured in Viterbo in the 13th century were specifically designed to portray the important function of drawing water, even though the fountains were more commemorative than anything else.
