He penned a book titled “The Principles of Moving Forces” toward the conclusion of his life while in France which became the basic book on hydraulic technology and engineering. Updating key hydraulic breakthroughs of classical antiquity, the book also details modern hydraulic technologies. As a mechanical method to push water, Archimedes invented the water screw, fundamental among key hydraulic advancements.

Leonardo da Vinci, a Renaissance artist, was renowned as a creative genius, inventor and scientific expert. The forces of nature inspired him to explore the properties and motion of water, and due to his fascination, he systematically recorded his observations in his now celebrated notebooks. Modifying private villa configurations into amazing water showcases full with symbolic interpretation and natural beauty, early Italian water fountain creators paired resourcefulness with hydraulic and horticultural abilities. Known for his virtuosity in archeology, design and garden creations, Pirro Ligorio, the humanist, delivered the vision behind the wonders in Tivoli.
