The advantage of having a garden fountain goes beyond its beauty as it also attracts birds and other wildlife, in addition to harmonizing the ecosystem with the water and moisture it emits into the atmosphere. Birds enticed by a fountain or bird bath often scare away irritating flying pests, for instance.

Wall fountains are a good choice if your yard is small because they do not require much space as compared to a spouting or cascading fountain. Either a freestanding fountain with an even back and an attached basin set against a fence or a wall, or a wall-mounted kind which is self-contained and hangs on a wall, are some of the options from which you can choose. Both a fountain mask placed on the existing wall as well as a basin located at the bottom to collect the water are necessary if you wish to add a fountain. Since the plumbing and masonry work is substantial to complete this type of job, you should employ a specialist to do it rather than try to do it alone.

An enormous 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 water fountain according to writings from the time. In 1665 Bernini journeyed to France, in what was to be his sole lengthy absence from Italy.
