During its original construction, pozzi (or manholes) were installed at set intervals along the aqueduct’s channel. While these manholes were developed to make it less difficult to protect the aqueduct, it was also possible to use containers to pull water from the channel, which was utilized by Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi from the time he purchased the property in 1543 to his passing in 1552. It seems that, the rainwater cistern on his property wasn’t enough to fulfill his needs.
