Rome’s Early Water Delivery Systems
Rome’s Early Water Delivery Systems Previous to 273, when the first elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was built in Rome, inhabitants who lived on hillsides had to go even further down to collect their water from natural sources. Outside of these aqueducts and springs, wells and rainwater-collecting cisterns were the lone techniques around at the time to supply water to areas of high elevation. Beginning in the sixteenth century, a unique program was introduced, using Acqua Vergine’s subterranean sections to supply water to Pincian Hill. Pozzi, or manholes, were engineered at regular intervals along the aqueduct’s channel. During the some 9 years he had the residence, from 1543 to 1552, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi used these manholes to take water from the network in containers, though they were originally established for the intent of cleaning and maintenance the aqueduct. Though the cardinal also had a cistern to collect rainwater, it didn’t produce enough water. To provide himself with a more effective way to assemble water, he had one of the manholes exposed, offering him access to the aqueduct below his residence.

This spot is still filled with Roman locals and tourists who like to exchanging gossip or going over the day's news. Bernini would without a doubt have been happy to know that people still flock to what has become one the city's trendiest areas, that around his amazing water fountain. In about 1630, the great artist built the very first water fountain of his career at the behest of Pope Ubano VIII. People can now see the fountain as a depiction of a great ship gradually sinking into the Mediterranean Sea. The great flooding of the Tevere that blanketed the whole region with water in the 16th was commemorated by this momentous fountain as recorded by reports dating back to this period.
