Rome’s Early Water Transport Solutions
Rome’s Early Water Transport Solutions Aqua Anio Vetus, the first raised aqueduct founded in Rome, started out supplying the men and women living in the hills with water in 273 BC, although they had relied on natural springs up until then. During this time period, there were only 2 other techniques capable of supplying water to high areas, subterranean wells and cisterns, which accumulated rainwater. To offer water to Pincian Hill in the early sixteenth century, they implemented the emerging strategy of redirecting the circulation from the Acqua Vergine aqueduct’s underground channel. Throughout the time of its original building and construction, pozzi (or manholes) were positioned at set intervals along the aqueduct’s channel. Although they were initially planned to make it possible to service the aqueduct, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi started using the manholes to get water from the channel, commencing when he acquired the property in 1543. It seems that, the rainwater cistern on his property wasn’t sufficient to meet his needs. Fortunately, the aqueduct sat below his property, and he had a shaft opened to give him access.

Water-lifting System by Camillo Agrippa
Water-lifting System by Camillo Agrippa Regrettably, Agrippa’s amazing design for lifting water was not cited a lot after 1588, when Andrea Bacci praised it in public.
It may possibly be that the Acqua Felice, the second of Rome’s early modern aqueducts made the unit outdated when it was hooked up to the Villa Medici in 1592. The more likely reason is that the device was deserted when Franceso di Medici, Ferdinando’s brotherexpired in 1588, leading him to give up his position as cardinal and go back to Florence where he received the throne as the Grand Duke of Tuscany. It could defy gravity to raise water to Renaissance landscapes, supplying them in a way other late 16th century concepts such as scenographic water exhibits, melodious fountains and giochi d’acqua or water caprices, were not.
