The type you choose for your space is dictated by personal design preferences. The kind of material used depends on the type of environment which needs to be decorated such as slate for a traditional lodge or sleek glass for a contemporary apartment. Your personal decor plans determine the material you select. No doubt however, fountains are sure to add to your quality of life and delight your family and friends.

At What Point Did Water Features Emerge?

At What Point Did Water Features Emerge? Pope Nicholas V, himself a learned man, ruled the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455 during which time he commissioned many translations of ancient classical Greek texts into Latin. He undertook the beautification of Rome to make it into the model seat of the Christian world. At the bidding of the Pope, the Aqua Vergine, a ruined aqueduct which had transported clean drinking water into Rome from eight miles away, was reconditioned starting in 1453. Building a mostra, an imposing commemorative fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the arrival point of an aqueduct, was a custom revived by Nicholas V. The Trevi Fountain now occupies the space formerly filled with a wall fountain crafted by Leon Battista Albert, an architect employed by the Pope. Adjustments and extensions, included in the repaired aqueduct, eventually provided the Trevi Fountain and the well-known baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Navona with the necessary water supply.
