It may be that the Acqua Felice, the second of Rome’s early modern conduits made the system useless when it was hooked up to the Villa Medici in 1592. In truth it was probably simply disused when Ferdinando returned to Florence in 1588 soon after the expiry of his sibling, Francesco di Medici, leading Ferdinando to give up his cardinalship in order to protect his place as the upcoming Grand Duke of Tuscany.

The First Contemporary Wall Fountains Hundreds of ancient Greek documents were translated into Latin under the authority of the scholarly Pope Nicholas V, who led the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455. In order to make Rome worthy of being the capital of the Christian world, the Pope decided to embellish the beauty of the city. Restoration of the Acqua Vergine, a desolate Roman aqueduct which had carried fresh drinking water into the city from eight miles away, began in 1453 at the behest of the Pope. The historical Roman tradition of marking the entry point of an aqueduct with an magnificent celebratory fountain, also known as a mostra, was restored by Nicholas V. The Trevi Fountain now occupies the space formerly filled with a wall fountain built by Leon Battista Albert, an architect commissioned by the Pope.

The spray of water appearing from small spouts was pressured by gravity, the only power source creators had in those days. Drinking water was delivered by public fountains, long before fountains became decorative public monuments, as beautiful as they are functional. Fountains with embellished Gods, mythological monsters, and animals began to show up in Rome in about 6 BC, made from stone and bronze. Water for the community fountains of Rome was brought to the city via a intricate system of water aqueducts.
