The Wide Array of Outdoor Wall Water Fountains
You can find tranquility and quiet when you add a wall fountain in your backyard or patio. You can have one made to suit your requirements even if you have a minimum amount of space. The requisite components include a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump regardless of whether it is freestanding or anchored. There are many different styles available on the market including traditional, contemporary, classical, or Asian. Freestanding wall fountains, otherwise known as floor fountains, are relatively big and feature a basin on the ground.
On the other hand, a water feature attached to a wall can be integrated onto an existing wall or fit into a new wall. A cohesive look can be achieved with this type of fountain because it seems to become part of the scenery rather than an added element.
The Source of Today's Outdoor Water Fountains
The Source of Today's Outdoor Water Fountains The translation of hundreds of ancient Greek texts into Latin was commissioned by the learned Pope Nicholas V who ruled 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 enhance the beauty of the city. At the behest of the Pope, the Aqua Vergine, a ruined aqueduct which had carried clean drinking water into Rome from eight miles away, was reconditioned starting in 1453. Building a mostra, a grandiose celebratory fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the arrival point of an aqueduct, was a custom revived by Nicholas V. The Trevi Fountain now occupies the area formerly filled with a wall fountain built by Leon Battista Albert, an architect commissioned by the Pope. The Trevi Fountain as well as the well-known baroque fountains found in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona were eventually supplied with water from the altered aqueduct he had rebuilt.
