Agrippa’s Magnificent Water-lifting Machine
Agrippa’s Magnificent Water-lifting Machine The compliments Agrippa’s water-lifting invention was given by Andrea Bacci in 1588 was short-lived. It might have become obsolete when the Villa Medici was enabled to get water from the Acqua Felice, the early contemporary conduit, in 1592.

On one of these terraces sits a quaint bowling green: it's covered in grass and flanked by an old yew hedge that is created into the shape of rough ramparts.
