The Multiple Styles of Wall Water Fountains
The Multiple Styles of Wall Water Fountains Having a wall fountain in your garden or on a terrace is great when you wish to relax. You can have one made to suit your specifications even if you have a minimum amount of space. Whether it is stand alone or fitted, you will need a spout, a water bowl, internal piping, and a pump. You have many styles to a lot to pick from whether you are in search of a traditional, contemporary, classical, or Asian style.
Also knownas a floor fountain, a stand-alone wall fountain is normally rather large, and its basin is placed on the ground.
It is possible to incorporate a wall-mounted water feature onto an already existing wall or built into a new wall. Integrating this type of water feature into your landscape brings a cohesiveness to the look you want to achieve rather than making it seem as if the fountain was merely added later.
At What Point Did Water Features Emerge?
At What Point Did Water Features Emerge?
Hundreds of classic Greek documents were translated into Latin under the auspices of the scholarly Pope Nicholas V, who ruled the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455. He undertook the embellishment of Rome to turn it into the model capital of the Christian world. Reconstruction of the Acqua Vergine, a ruined Roman aqueduct which had carried fresh drinking water into the city from eight miles away, began in 1453 at the behest of the Pope. Building a mostra, an imposing commemorative fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the arrival point of an aqueduct, was a tradition revived by Nicholas V. At the bidding of the Pope, architect Leon Battista Alberti began the construction of a wall fountain in the spot where we now find the Trevi Fountain. Modifications and extensions, included in the repaired aqueduct, eventually supplied the Trevi Fountain and the well-known baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Navona with the necessary water supply.
