The Barcaccia, a beautiful water fountain constructed at the base of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna, was Bernini's earliest fountain. To this day, you will see Roman locals and vacation goers occupying this area to revel in chit chatter and being among other people. Bernini would undoubtedly have been happy to know that people still flock to what has become one the city's most fashionable areas, that around his amazing water fountain. In about 1630, the great artist built the first fountain of his career at the behest of Pope Ubano VIII. The fountain’s central theme is based on an enormous ship slowly sinking into the Mediterranean. Period reports dating back to the 16th century show that the fountain was built as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the great flooding of the Tevere. In 1665, France was graced by Bernini's one-and-only prolonged journey outside of Italy.

The water from creeks and other sources was originally delivered to the residents of nearby communities and municipalities by way of water fountains, whose design was largely practical, not aesthetic. A source of water higher in elevation than the fountain was required to pressurize the flow and send water squirting from the fountain's nozzle, a technology without equal until the later half of the nineteenth century. Inspiring and impressive, large water fountains have been crafted as monuments in many cultures. If you saw the earliest fountains, you wouldn't recognize them as fountains. A natural stone basin, crafted from rock, was the 1st fountain, utilized for containing water for drinking and ceremonial purposes. Natural stone basins are thought to have been first used around 2000 BC. Gravity was the energy source that controlled the oldest water fountains. Situated near aqueducts or creeks, the practical public water fountains supplied the local population with fresh drinking water. Fountains with flowery decoration started to appear in Rome in about 6 B.C., commonly gods and animals, made with natural stone or bronze. A well-designed collection of reservoirs and aqueducts kept Rome's public fountains supplied with fresh water.
