Atlantis as it is presented in the paintings by Dovilio Brero is a marvellous city, a pearl of that extraordinary civilisation that mankind has fabled for millennia. It is a city in which every detail is taken care of.. The architecture unites beauty and harmony with an extreme functionality.

The city of Atlantis was built in concentric circles, isolated one from another by arms of  navigable sea. Access to the different levels was more and more restricted as one proceeded towards the central island: here there were the sites of the most important temples and reserved places.The city was constantly full of music, derived from the architecture. Primarily from the gilded domes, which reacted to the wind and temperature variations, producing sound harmonies. Often present was the theme of the number three, a characteristic of the whole civilisation of Atlantis: lines repeated thrice, groups of three similar buildings, groups of three pyramids.  On each level of the city, the  roads on the surface ran diagonally from shore to shore, but many other pathways intertwined underground. 

Atlantis was the capital city of the continent of the same name; as such, it was the showcase of its inhabitants. It was the collective realisation of their culture, their arts and their technological progress. It was a monumental city, created to show representatives of other nations, what the people of Atlantis were capable of doing.
