The Positive Benefits of installing a Water Feature in Your Living Area You can perfect your outdoor area by including a wall fountain or an outdoor garden water feature to your property or gardening project. Modern-day designers and fountain builders alike use historical fountains and water features to shape their creations. As such, the impact of integrating one of these to your interior decor connects it to past times. The advantage of having a garden fountain extends beyond its beauty as it also attracts birds and other wildlife, in addition to harmonizing the ecosystem with the water and moisture it releases into the atmosphere. For instance, irksome flying insects are usually deterred by the birds attracted to the fountain or birdbath.

Spouting or cascading fountains are not the best choice for a small yard since they require a great deal of space. You can choose to install a stand-alone fountain with a flat back and an attached basin propped against a fence or wall in your backyard, or a wall-mounted type which is self-contained and hung from a wall. Both a fountain mask located on the existing wall as well as a basin located at the bottom to collect the water are necessary if you wish to add a fountain. The plumbing and masonry work necessary for this kind of work requires expertise, so it is best to employ a skilled person rather than go at it yourself.

The Source of Today's Fountains

The Source of Today's Fountains The translation of hundreds of ancient Greek texts into Latin was commissioned by the scholarly Pope Nicholas V who ruled the Church in Rome from 1397 until 1455. In order to make Rome deserving of being the capital of the Christian world, the Pope decided to embellish the beauty of the city. Beginning 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 reconstruction at the bidding of the Pope. Building a mostra, a grandiose commemorative fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the entry point of an aqueduct, was a custom revived by Nicholas V. The present-day location of the Trevi Fountain was once occupied by a wall fountain commissioned by the Pope and constructed by the architect Leon Battista Alberti. The aqueduct he had refurbished included modifications and extensions which eventually allowed it to supply water to the Trevi Fountain as well as the famed baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona.
