With the development of the first raised aqueduct in Rome, the Aqua Anio Vetus in 273 BC, individuals who lived on the city’s hillsides no longer had to rely strictly on naturally-occurring spring water for their requirements. Over this time period, there were only 2 other systems capable of delivering water to higher areas, subterranean wells and cisterns, which gathered rainwater. Beginning in the sixteenth century, a unique approach was introduced, using Acqua Vergine’s subterranean sectors to provide water to Pincian Hill. As originally constructed, the aqueduct was provided along the length of its channel with pozzi (manholes) constructed at regular intervals. During the roughly nine years he owned the residence, from 1543 to 1552, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi employed these manholes to take water from the network in containers, though they were initially established for the purpose of maintaining and maintaining the aqueduct. He didn’t get an adequate amount water from the cistern that he had constructed on his residential property to obtain rainwater. Fortunately, the aqueduct sat under his residence, and he had a shaft opened to give him accessibility.

The great 16th century flood of the Tevere, which left the entire region inundated with water, was memorialized by the water fountain according to writings from the period. In 1665, France was graced by Bernini's one-and-only prolonged trip outside of Italy.
