Bernini’s Early Italian Water Fountains

Bernini’s Early Italian Water Fountains 18665482623.jpg Bernini’s Early Italian Water Fountains The Barcaccia, a beautiful water fountain constructed at the base of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna, was Bernini's earliest water fountain. To this day, you will find Roman locals and vacation goers occupying this area to revel in chit chatter and being among other people. One of the city’s most stylish meeting spots are the streets surrounding Bernini's fountain, which would undoubtedly have brought a smile to the great Bernini. In around 1630, Pope Urbano VIII helped Bernini launch his career with the construction of his first fountain. Illustrated in the fountain's design is a large ship gradually sinking into the Mediterranean Sea. Period writings dating back to the 16th century indicate that the fountain was built as a monument to those who lost their lives in the great flooding of the Tevere. Absenting himself from Italy only once in his life for a prolonged period of time, in 1665 Bernini voyaged to France.
