Water-raising System by Camillo Agrippa
Water-raising System by Camillo Agrippa
The praise Agrippa’s water-lifting creation received from Andrea Bacci in 1588 was temporal. It may be that in 1592 when Rome’s latest aqueduct, the Acqua Felice, began delivering the Villa Medici, there was no longer much need for the equipment. In truth it was probably simply disused when Ferdinando went to Florence in 1588 following the passing away of his brother, Francesco di Medici, leading Ferdinando to give up his position as a cardinal in order to protect his place as the next Grand Duke of Tuscany. Although there were other worthwhile water-driven designs either projected or built during the later part of the sixteenth century, including scenographic water presentations, giochi d’acqua or water caprices, and musical water fountains, not one were fed by water like Agrippa’s device.
