The great flooding of the Tevere that blanketed the whole region with water in the 16th was commemorated by this momentous fountain as recorded by documents dating back to this time.

The Original Fountains of the Historical Past

The Original Fountains of the Historical Past Villages and communities depended on working water fountains to channel water for cooking, washing, and cleaning up from local sources like ponds, streams, or springs. To generate water flow through a fountain until the late 1800’s, and create a jet of water, demanded the force of gravity and a water source such as a creek or lake, positioned higher than the fountain. Fountains spanning history have been crafted as memorials, impressing local citizens and visitors alike. If you saw the earliest fountains, you would not identify them as fountains. Crafted for drinking water and ceremonial reasons, the first fountains were very simple carved stone basins. The initial stone basins are thought to be from around 2000 B.C.. The spraying of water appearing from small spouts was pushed by gravity, the only power source designers had in those days. Positioned near reservoirs or creeks, the practical public water fountains provided the local populace with fresh drinking water. The Romans began building ornate fountains in 6 B.C., most of which were metallic or stone masks of wildlife and mythological characters. Water for the public fountains of Rome arrived to the city via a elaborate system of water aqueducts.
