The Beautiful Early Wonders by Bernini
The Beautiful Early Wonders by Bernini Bernini's earliest fountain, named Barcaccia, is a breath taking work of art found at the bottom of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna. Roman residents and site seers who appreciate verbal exchanges as well as being the company of others still flood this spot. Bernini would without a doubt have been happy to know that people still flock to what has become one the city's most fashionable areas, that surrounding his amazing water fountain. The master's very first fountain of his career was built at around 1630 at the request of Pope Urbano VIII. Illustrated in the fountain's design is a large ship slowly sinking into the Mediterranean Sea.
The great flooding of the Tevere that covered the whole region with water in the 16th was commemorated by this momentous fountain as recorded by documents dating back to this period. Absenting himself from Italy only once in his life for a prolonged period of time, in 1665 Bernini traveled to France.
The Impact of the Norman Invasion on Anglo-Saxon Gardens
The Impact of the Norman Invasion on Anglo-Saxon Gardens Anglo-Saxons experienced great adjustments to their daily lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans. Engineering and horticulture were attributes that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation. Still, home life, household architecture, and decoration were out of the question until the Normans taken over the entire population. Most often designed upon windy summits, castles were straightforward constructs that permitted their inhabitants to devote time and space to offensive and defensive strategies, while monasteries were rambling stone buildings commonly placed in only the most fecund, broad valleys. The serene practice of gardening was not viable in these dismal bastions. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is represented in Berkeley Castle, which is conceivably the most untouched example we have. The keep is thought to date from the time of William the Conqueror. A monumental terrace serves as a hindrance to invaders who would try to mine the walls of the building. On 1 of these terraces lies a charming bowling green: it's covered in grass and flanked by an old yew hedge that is created into the shape of rough ramparts.
