Bernini's Earliest Masterpieces
Bernini's Earliest Masterpieces The Barcaccia, Bernini's very first water fountain, is a striking chef d'oeuvre built at the bottom of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna. Roman locals and site seers who appreciate verbal exchanges as well as being the company of others still go to this spot. Bernini would without a doubt have been happy to know that people still flock to what has become one the city's trendiest areas, that around his amazing fountain. The master's very first fountain of his career was built at around 1630 at the request of Pope Urbano VIII. An enormous ship slowly sinking into the Mediterranean is the fountain's main theme. The great flooding of the Tevere that covered the whole region with water in the 16th was commemorated by this momentous fountain as recorded by reports dating back to this time.
Installation and Maintenance of Outdoor Water fountains
Installation and Maintenance of Outdoor Water fountains An important first step before installing any outdoor wall feature is to think about the space you have available.
The typical outdoor wall fountain is available in an easy-to-use kit that comes with everything you need and more to properly install it. In the kit you are going to find all the needed essentials: a submersible pump, hoses and basin, or reservoir. Depending on its size, the basin can typically be hidden quite easily amongst the plants. Once your wall fountain is in place, all that is needed is regular cleaning and some light maintenance.
Replace and clean the water on a regular basis. It is important to quickly get rid of debris such as leaves, twigs or other dreck. Ensure that your outdoor wall fountain is protected from freezing winter temperatures. If kept outdoors, your pump could break as a result of icy water, so bring it inside during the winter. Simply put, your outdoor fountain will be a part of your life for many years to come with the proper care and maintenance.
