At What Point Did Water Fountains Originate?
At What Point Did Water Fountains Originate? Hundreds of classic Greek documents were translated into Latin under the authority of the scholarly Pope Nicholas V, who led the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455. In order to make Rome worthy of being the capital of the Christian world, the Pope decided to embellish the beauty of the city. Starting in 1453, the ruined ancient Roman aqueduct known as the Aqua Vergine which had brought fresh drinking water into the city from eight miles away, underwent restoration at the behest of the Pope. Building a mostra, a grandiose celebratory fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the entry point of an aqueduct, was a custom revived by Nicholas V. The Trevi Fountain now occupies the space formerly filled with a wall fountain built by Leon Battista Albert, an architect employed by the Pope. The Trevi Fountain as well as the well-known baroque fountains located in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona were eventually supplied with water from the modified aqueduct he had reconstructed.Landscape Elegance: Fountains

Outdoor wall features come in many different materials, but they are usually made of stone and metal. The most suitable material for your water feature depends entirely on the design you prefer. Outdoor wall fountains come in many forms and sizes, therefore ensure that the style you choose to buy is hand-crafted, easy to hang and lightweight. Be sure that your fountain is manageable as far as maintenance is concerned. Even though installing certain fountains can be difficult, the majority take little effort because the only parts which demand special care are the re-circulating pump and the hardware to hang them. You can rest assured your garden can be easily juiced up by putting in this kind of fountain.
