The Wide Range of Wall Fountains
The Wide Range of Wall Fountains You can find peace and silence when you add a wall fountain in your garden or patio. You can have one custom-built to fit your specifications even if you have a small amount of space. Whether it is stand alone or fitted, you will require a spout, a water bowl, internal piping, and a pump. Traditional, modern, antique, and Asian are just a few of the styles from which you can choose. Usually quite big, freestanding wall fountains, also referred to as floor fountains, have their basins on the ground.
A wall-mounted fountain can either be incorporated onto a wall already in existence or fitted into a wall under construction. Integrating this kind of water feature into your landscape adds a cohesiveness to the look you want to attain rather than making it seem as if the fountain was merely added later.
Bernini’s Very First Italian Water Fountains
Bernini’s Very First Italian Water Fountains The Barcaccia, Bernini's very first water fountain, is a striking chef d'oeuvre built at the foot of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna. To this day, this area is flooded with Roman locals and travelers alike who enjoy debate and each other's company. Bernini would undoubtedly have been happy to know that people still flock to what has become one the city's trendiest areas, that surrounding his amazing fountain. In about 1630, the great master designed the first water fountain of his career at the behest of Pope Ubano VIII. Depicted in the fountain's design is a large ship gradually sinking into the Mediterranean Sea. According to 16th century reports, a great flood of the Tevere covered the entire area in water, an event which was commemorated by the tremendous fountain. In 1665 Bernini traveled to France, in what was to be his sole prolonged absence from Italy.
