Bernini's First Showpieces
Bernini's First Showpieces The Barcaccia, Bernini's first water fountain, is a magnificent chef d'oeuvre built at the foot of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna. This spot is still filled with Roman locals and visitors who like to exchanging gossip or going over the day's news. The streets surrounding his water 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 very first fountain of the master's career. A massive ship slowly sinking into the Mediterranean is the fountain's central theme. 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. In 1665 Bernini journeyed to France, in what was to be his sole lengthy absence from Italy.
