The Original Garden Fountain Designers Fountain designers were multi-talented people from the 16th to the late 18th century, often working as architects, sculptors, artisans, engineers and cultivated scholars all in one. Leonardo da Vinci as a inspired master, inventor and scientific virtuoso exemplified this Renaissance creator. With his immense fascination regarding the forces of nature, he researched the characteristics and mobility of water and systematically recorded his examinations in his now celebrated notebooks. Early Italian water feature engineers altered private villa configurations into ingenious water exhibits complete with symbolic meaning and natural beauty by combining creativity with hydraulic and horticultural experience. Known for his incredible skill in archeology, design and garden design, Pirro Ligorio, the humanist, delivered the vision behind the splendors in Tivoli. For the assorted mansions near Florence, other fountain builders were well versed in humanist subjects as well as ancient technical texts, masterminding the extraordinary water marbles, water highlights and water humor.

Bernini’s Very First Italian Fountains

Bernini’s Very First Italian Fountains Bernini's earliest water fountain, named Barcaccia, is a breath taking work of art seen 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 conversation and each other's company. The streets surrounding his fountain have come to be one of the city’s most trendy gathering places, something which would certainly have pleased Bernini himself. Dating back to around 1630, Pope Urbano VIII mandated what was to be the earliest fountain of the artist's career. People can now see the fountain as a depiction of a commanding ship slowly sinking into the Mediterranean. The great flooding of the Tevere that covered the whole region with water in the 16th was commemorated by this momentous fountain as recorded by reports dating back to this time. Absenting himself from Italy only once in his life for a long-lasting period of time, in 1665 Bernini traveled to France.
