Bernini's Early Showpieces
Bernini's Early Showpieces One can see Bernini's earliest masterpiece, the Barcaccia fountain, at the base of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna. This spot continues to be filled with Roman locals and visitors who enjoy exchanging gossip or going over the day's news. The streets surrounding his water fountain have come to be one of the city’s most stylish gathering places, something which would certainly have pleased Bernini himself. In about 1630, the great master designed the very first fountain of his career at the behest of Pope Ubano VIII. Depicted in the fountain's design is a great vessel slowly sinking into the Mediterranean Sea. The great flooding of the Tevere that covered the whole region with water in the 16th was memorialized by this momentous fountain as recorded by reports dating back to this period. In 1665 Bernini journeyed to France, in what was to be his only prolonged absence from Italy.

If you like Latin food, go with cilantro. It is important to identify where your herbs will be planted in order to decide which herbs will thrive.
