A Wall Water Feature to Fit Your Design
A Wall Water Feature to Fit Your Design
A small patio or a courtyard is a great place to put your wall fountain when you seek out peace and quiet. You can have one made to fit your requirements even if you have a small amount of space. The necessary components include a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump regardless of whether it is freestanding or secured. There are any number of different styles available on the market including traditional, contemporary, classical, or Asian. Normally quite big, freestanding wall fountains, also known as floor fountains, have their basins on the floor.
You can choose to place your wall-mounted feature on an preexisting wall or build it into a new wall. A cohesive look can be realized with this type of fountain because it seems to become part of the landscape rather than an added element.
Bernini’s Very First Italian Fountains

To this day, this spot is filled with Roman locals and tourists alike who enjoy conversation and each other's company. The streets neighboring his water fountain have come to be one of the city’s most fashionable meeting places, something which would certainly have pleased Bernini himself. In about 1630, the great master designed the first water fountain of his career at the behest of Pope Ubano VIII. The fountain’s central theme is based on an enormous boat slowly sinking into the Mediterranean. Period reports dating back to the 16th century show that the fountain was built as a monument to those who lost their lives in the great flooding of the Tevere. In what turned out to be his sole prolonged absence from Italy, Bernini {journeyed | traveled] to France in 1665.
