One of the most distinguished sculptors and artists of the 17th century, virtually all of them were planned, conceptualized and built by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. He was furthermore a city designer, in addition to his abilities as a fountain designer, and traces of his life's work are apparent all through the streets of Rome. To fully exhibit their skill, mainly in the form of public water features and water fountains, Bernini's father, a renowned Florentine sculptor, mentored his young son, and they eventually relocated in the City of Rome. The young Bernini was an great employee and received praise and backing of significant painters as well as popes. He was originally renowned for his sculpture. Working gracefully with Roman marble, he used a base of expertise in the classic Greek architecture, most obviously in the Vatican. Though he was influenced by many, Michelangelo had the most serious effect on him, both personally and professionally.

Since this feature is self-contained, no plumbing work is necessary. However, water must be added regularly. Your pond and the proximate area are certain to get dirty at some point so be sure to drain the water from the basin and fill it with fresh water.

Outdoor wall fountains come in lots of different materials, but they are usually made of stone and metal. Identifying the style you wish for shows the right material to use.
