Agrippa's Amazing, but Mostly Forgotten Water-Lifting Mechanism
Agrippa's Amazing, but Mostly Forgotten Water-Lifting Mechanism The admiration Agrippa’s water-lifting innovation earned by Andrea Bacci in 1588 was temporal. Only years later, in 1592, the earliest modern Roman conduit, the Acqua Felice, was connected to the Medici’s villa, possibly making the technology obsolete. Even though it is more probable that it was simply tossed when Ferdinando relinquished his cardinalship and moved back to Florence, protecting his position as the Grand Duke of Tuscany, following the demise of his sibling, Francesco di Medici, in 1588. There might have been some other impressive water-related works in Renaissance landscapes in the later part of the sixteenth century, like fountains which played music, water caprices (or giochi d’acqua) and also scenographic water presentations, but none were powered by water that defied gravitation.

The Use of Large Garden Fountains As Water Features
A water feature is one which is a large element through which water runs. There is a wide array of such features ranging something as simple as a suspended wall fountain or as elaborate as a courtyard tiered fountain. Given that they are so functional, these decorative elements can be situated either in your backyard or inside your home. Pools and ponds are also regarded as water features. Garden wall fountains are worthwhile additions to your living areas such as yards, yoga studios, cozy patios, apartment verandas, or office buildings. You can chill out to the softly flowing water in your fountain and gratify your senses of sight and sound. Their visibly pleasing shape adds to the embellishment of any area as well. Softly moving water not only leads to a sense of peace, it also masks bothersome noises and produces an enchanting water show.
