The Godfather Of Roman Water Features
The Godfather Of Roman Water Features In Rome’s city center, there are many easily recognized water features. One of the greatest sculptors and artists of the 17th century, nearly all of them were designed, conceived and built by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. His expertise as a fountain creator and also as a city designer, are evident all through the streets of Rome. Ultimately travelling to Rome to totally reveal their art, chiefly in the form of public water features, Bernini’s father, a famed Florentine sculptor, mentored his young son. An excellent employee, the young Bernini received compliments and the backing of many popes and important designers. At the start he was recognized for his sculptural skills.
