A Wall Fountain to Match Your Design
A Wall Fountain to Match Your Design
You can find tranquility and quiet when you add a wall fountain in your garden or patio. Additionally, it can be made to fit into any wall space since it does not need much room. Both the stand alone and fitted versions must have a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump. There are any variety of models to pick from most notably conventional, contemporary, classic, or Asian. Usually quite large, freestanding wall fountains, also referred to as floor fountains, have their basins on the ground.
It is possible to integrate a wall-mounted water feature onto an already existing wall or built into a new wall. A unified look can be achieved with this style 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 Himself a highly educated man, Pope Nicholas V led the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 till 1455 and was responsible for the translation of hundreds of age-old documents from their original Greek into Latin. In order to make Rome worthy of being the capital of the Christian world, the Pope resolved to enhance the beauty of the city. Starting in 1453, the ruined ancient Roman aqueduct known as the Aqua Vergine which had brought clean drinking water into the city from eight miles away, underwent repair at the behest of the Pope. Building a mostra, an imposing commemorative fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the arrival point of an aqueduct, was a tradition revived by Nicholas V. The architect Leon Battista Alberti was directed by the Pope to put up a wall fountain where we now see the Trevi Fountain. Adjustments and extensions, included in the restored aqueduct, eventually supplied the Trevi Fountain and the well-known baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Navona with the necessary water supply.
