L'Acquaiola, fontana lungo lago a Paradiso
1956 - Inauguration of the Acquaiola (The Water carrier) on the Quai of Paradiso in the center of the fountain.[4]
Regarding the Water-carrier a very positive critique appeared, on March 9, 1956 by Prof. Charly Clerc, entitled: "Sculpteur tessinois" on the front page of the Journal de Geneve, . Here translated from the French:
"Mario Bernasconi is a fine and original artist who has worked hard. The projects in his studio stand to demonstrate not only a distinguished artist but a great artist"
Soon in Paradiso the inauguration will take place of the young girl that draws water from the fountain, that is an ensemble of gentleness, grace and grandeur."[5]
On the ACQUAIOLA the painter Manlio Guberti Helfricht from Ravenna, on the invitation for the centenary celebration of Mario Bernasconi 1899-1999 by the city of Lugano responded expressing as follows (in the Italian language) :
"L'opera riprodotta e' un capolavoro,un vero inno alla bellezza femminile,quale solo un grande artista poteva fare."
English translation: "The ACQUAIOLA is a masterpiece, a true hymn to female beauty, as only a great artist could do"
