Prior to 273, when the first elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was made in Rome, citizens who dwelled on hillsides had to journey even further down to collect their water from natural sources. Outside of these aqueducts and springs, wells and rainwater-collecting cisterns were the sole technologies readily available at the time to supply water to segments of greater elevation. In the very early sixteenth century, the city began to use the water that flowed below ground through Acqua Vergine to provide drinking water to Pincian Hill. Pozzi, or manholes, were built at regular stretches along the aqueduct’s channel. The manholes made it easier to thoroughly clean the channel, but it was also achievable to use buckets to remove water from the aqueduct, as we observed with Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi when he owned the property from 1543 to 1552, the year he died. The cistern he had constructed to obtain rainwater wasn’t adequate to meet his water specifications. Through an opening to the aqueduct that ran under his property, he was set to meet his water needs.

The Broad Array of Wall Water Fountains

The Broad Array of Wall Water Fountains Placing a wall fountain in your backyard or patio is ideal when you want to relax. You can also make use of a small space by having one custom-made. The required components include a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump regardless of whether it is freestanding or secured. Traditional, modern, classic, and Asian are just a few of the styles from which you can consider.

Freestanding wall fountains, otherwise known as floor fountains, are relatively big and feature a basin on the ground.

On the other hand, a water feature affixed to a wall can be incorporated onto an existing wall or built into a new wall. The appearance of your landscape will seem more cohesive instead of disjointed when you install this kind of water feature.

Bernini's Early Showpieces

Bernini's Early Showpieces Bernini's earliest fountain, named Barcaccia, is a masterful work of art found at the bottom of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna. This area continues to be filled with Roman locals and tourists who enjoy exchanging gossip or going over the day's news. The streets surrounding his fountain have come to be one of the city’s most trendy meeting places, something which would certainly have pleased Bernini himself. In around 1630, Pope Urbano VIII helped Bernini start off his career with the construction of his first fountain. A massive boat slowly sinking into the Mediterranean is the fountain's main theme. The great 16th century flood of the Tevere, which left the entire region inundated with water, was memorialized by the fountain according to writings from the time. Absenting himself from Italy only once in his life for a lengthy period of time, in 1665 Bernini voyaged to France.
