The Multiple Types of Wall Water Fountains A small patio or a courtyard is a great spot to put your wall fountain when you seek out peace and quiet. You can have one made to suit your requirements even if you have a minimum amount of space. Whether it is stand alone or mounted, you will need a spout, a water bowl, internal piping, and a pump. You have many styles to a lot to pick from whether you are looking for a traditional, contemporary, classical, or Asian style.

Also knownas a floor fountain, a stand-alone wall fountain is normally rather large, and its basin is placed on the ground.

It is possible to incorporate a wall-mounted water feature onto an already existent wall or built into a new wall. A unified look can be realized with this type of fountain because it seems to become part of the landscape rather than an added element.

Hundreds of classic Greek documents were translated into Latin under the auspices of the scholarly Pope Nicholas V, who led the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455. It was imperative for him to beautify the city of Rome to make it worthy of being called the capital of the Christian world. At the behest of the Pope, the Aqua Vergine, a ruined aqueduct which had carried clean drinking water into Rome from eight miles away, was reconditioned starting in 1453. Building a mostra, a grandiose celebratory fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the arrival point of an aqueduct, was a tradition revived by Nicholas V. The architect Leon Battista Alberti was commissioned by the Pope to put up a wall fountain where we now find the Trevi Fountain. The aqueduct he had refurbished included modifications and extensions which eventually allowed it to supply water to the Trevi Fountain as well as the renowned baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona.
