The work was commissioned and funded by the families Spallanzani and Beans, was placed in front of Palazzo Santa Croce (the former seat of Bingo), is "reserved domain" of the client and has the objective of training the public and private surrounding. It 'located where once ran a diversion channel of the Secchia, which fed the silk of Santa Croce, one of the largest in Italy.
