The Multiple Types of Wall Fountains

The Multiple Types of Wall Fountains Having a wall fountain in your backyard or on a terrace is excellent when you seek to relax. You can have one custom-built to suit your specifications even if you have a minimum amount of space. A spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump are vital for freestanding as well as mounted types. There are many different types available on the market including traditional, contemporary, classical, or Asian.

Freestanding wall fountains, commonly known as floor fountains, are relatively big and feature a basin on the ground.

A stand-alone fountain can either be incorporated onto a wall already in existence or fitted into a wall under construction. This style of fountain contributes to a cohesive look making it appear as if it was part of the landscape instead of an added feature.

Back Story of Outdoor Fountains

Back Story of Outdoor FountainsBack Story Outdoor Fountains 05688930342456480076.jpg The translation of hundreds of classic Greek texts into Latin was commissioned by the learned Pope Nicholas V who led the Church in Rome from 1397 until 1455. In order to make Rome worthy of being the capital of the Christian world, the Pope resolved to embellish the beauty of the city. In 1453 the Pope commissioned the reconstruction of the Aqua Vergine, an historic Roman aqueduct which had carried clean drinking water into the city from eight miles away. Building a mostra, a grandiose celebratory fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the entry point of an aqueduct, was a tradition revived by Nicholas V. The Trevi Fountain now occupies the space previously filled with a wall fountain crafted by Leon Battista Albert, an architect employed by the Pope. The water which eventually provided the Trevi Fountain as well as the renown baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Navona came from the modified aqueduct which he had renovated.
