Water-raising Tool by Camillo Agrippa

Water-raising Tool by Camillo Agrippa In 1588, Agrippa’s water-lifting creation lured the attention and admiration of Andrea Bacci but that turned out to be one of the very last mentions of the technology. It may have become obsolete once the Villa Medici was set to obtain water from the Acqua Felice, the early modern conduit, in 1592. Its use may have been short but Camillo Agrippa’s innovation maintained a significant place in history as the most remarkable water-lifting system of its kind in Italy prior to the modern era. There may have been some other spectacular water-related works in Renaissance landscapes in the late sixteenth century, like water fountains that played music, water caprices (or giochi d’acqua) and even scenographic water displays, but nothing was powered by water that defied gravity.
