Bernini's First Masterpieces
Bernini's First Masterpieces The Barcaccia, a stunning fountain built at the base of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna, was Bernini's earliest fountain. This spot continues to be filled with Roman locals and visitors who like to 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 about 1630, the great master designed the first fountain of his career at the behest of Pope Ubano VIII. Illustrated in the fountain's design is a large vessel gradually sinking into the Mediterranean Sea.
According to 16th century texts, a great flood of the Tevere covered the entire area in water, an event which was commemorated by the eye-catching fountain. In 1665 Bernini journeyed to France, in what was to be his only extended absence from Italy.
