Pozzi, or manholes, were built at regular stretches along the aqueduct’s channel. During the some nine years he had the residence, from 1543 to 1552, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi utilized these manholes to take water from the network in buckets, though they were initially built for the intent of maintaining and servicing the aqueduct. The cistern he had built to gather rainwater wasn’t satisfactory to meet his water needs. To provide himself with a much more practical system to assemble water, he had one of the manholes exposed, giving him access to the aqueduct below his property.
