Living in Peru : your everyday companion

In our first photo collage we see what is known as the Chinese Fountain. This fountain was built in Italy in the year 1921 by the sculptor Mario Vannini following the design of Gaetano Moretti, both Italians, and donated to the city of Lima by the Chinese community. It now sits at the center of the Parque de la Exposición. I can only see a minor change to the fountain: the addition of another ring containing water around the original. The major differences in these photos reside in the addition of an expansion to the Parque de la Exposición. You will notice that some of the trees are gone and a Japanese Garden has been added to the left of the photo. The streets leading up to the fountain are now enclosed within in the park.  One street, plus the round-about, have been removed entirely, as is the grass and shrubbery surrounding the fountain. There is a large modern building to the right in the background.
