His competence in creating gardens and grottoes with built-in and brilliant water features began in Italy and with commissions in Brussels, London and Germany.Distribution Water Fountain Engineering Knowledge Europe 56847316581445815.jpg In France, towards the end of his life, he wrote “The Principle of Moving Forces”, a book that became the primary text on hydraulic mechanics and engineering. Classical antiquity hydraulic discoveries were elaborated as well as updates to crucial classical antiquity hydraulic advancements in the publication. Notable among these works were those of Archimedes, the inventor of the water screw, a mechanized way of transferring water.

Acqua Vergine: The Answer to Rome's Water Problems

Acqua Vergine: The Answer to Rome's Water Problems Previous to 273, when the first elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was established in Roma, citizens who dwelled on hillsides had to travel even further down to get their water from natural sources. When aqueducts or springs weren’t accessible, people dwelling at raised elevations turned to water drawn from underground or rainwater, which was made possible by wells and cisterns. Beginning in the sixteenth century, a new approach was introduced, using Acqua Vergine’s subterranean sections to generate water to Pincian Hill. Pozzi, or manholes, were engineered at regular intervals along the aqueduct’s channel. The manholes made it easier to thoroughly clean the channel, but it was also possible to use buckets to extract water from the aqueduct, as we discovered with Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi when he bought the property from 1543 to 1552, the year he died. He didn’t get adequate water from the cistern that he had manufactured on his residential property to obtain rainwater. To give himself with a more effective system to gather water, he had one of the manholes exposed, providing him access to the aqueduct below his residence.
