The Godfather Of Rome's Garden Fountains There are countless renowned water fountains in Rome’s city center. One of the greatest sculptors and artists of the 17th century, almost all of them were designed, conceptualized and constructed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Also a city builder, he had abilities as a fountain developer, and remnants of his life's work are evident throughout the roads of Rome. Bernini's father, a renowned Florentine sculptor, mentored his young son, and they ultimately moved to Rome, in order to fully express their art, primarily in the form of public water fountains and water features. The young Bernini received praise from Popes and relevant artists alike, and was an exceptional worker. At first he was recognized for his sculpting skills. He used his knowledge and melded it seamlessly with Roman marble, most significantly in the Vatican. Though many artists had an influence on his work, Michelangelo had the most profound effect.
