One of the most distinguished sculptors and artists of the 17th century, Gian Lorenzo Bernini planned, conceptualized and constructed almost all of them. His abilities as a water feature creator and also as a city designer, are evident throughout the roads of Rome.

The young Bernini was an great worker and received praise and backing of significant painters as well as popes. At first he was renowned for his sculpting skills. He used his ability and melded it gracefully with Roman marble, most significantly in the Vatican. Although many artists impacted his artistic endeavors, Michelangelo influenced him the most.Installation and Maintenance of Fountains
