The Multiple Styles of Wall Water Fountains
The Multiple Styles of Wall Water Fountains You can find peace and silence when you add a wall fountain in your backyard or patio. Even a little space can contain a custom-built one. Whether it is stand alone or fitted, you will require a spout, a water bowl, internal piping, and a pump. There are any number of models to choose from including traditional, contemporary, classic, or Asian. Freestanding wall fountains, commonly known as floor fountains, are relatively big and feature a basin on the ground.
You can choose to put your wall-mounted fountain on an existing wall or build it into a new wall. The look of your landscape will seem more cohesive instead of disjointed when you install this style of water feature.

Bernini: The Master of Italy's Most Impressive Fountains
The Barcaccia, Bernini's very first fountain, is a magnificent chef d'oeuvre built at the base of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna. This area continues to be filled with Roman locals and tourists who like to exchanging gossip or going over the day's news. One of the city’s most fashionable meeting spots are the streets surrounding Bernini's fountain, which would undoubtedly have brought a smile to the great Bernini. In around 1630, Pope Urbano VIII helped Bernini launch his career with the construction of his first water fountain. People can now see the fountain as an illustration of a commanding ship slowly sinking into the Mediterranean Sea. According to 16th century documents, a great flood of the Tevere covered the entire area in water, an event which was commemorated by the eye-catching fountain. In 1665, France was graced by Bernini's only prolonged journey outside of Italy.
