Bernini: The Master of Italy's Greatest Fountains
Bernini: The Master of Italy's Greatest Fountains Bernini's earliest water fountain, named Barcaccia, is a breath taking work of art found at the bottom of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna.
Roman locals and site seers who enjoy conversation as well as being the company of others still flood this spot. Bernini would undoubtedly have been happy to know that people still flock to what has become one the city's most fashionable areas, that surrounding his amazing fountain. In around 1630, Pope Urbano VIII helped Bernini launch his professional life with the construction of his first water fountain. The fountain’s central theme is based on a massive vessel slowly sinking into the Mediterranean. Period reports dating back to the 16th century show that the fountain was constructed as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the great flooding of the Tevere. In 1665 Bernini traveled to France, in what was to be his only extended absence from Italy.
