It is essential that the wall where you are going to place it is sturdy enough to support its weight. Note that smaller areas or walls will require a lightweight fountain. In order to run the fountain, an electric powered plug will need to be nearby. Most outdoor wall fountains come with simple, step-by-step instructions with respect to the type of fountain.

The Origins of Contemporary Outdoor Wall Fountains

Origins Contemporary Outdoor Wall Fountains 78180324516599020952.jpg The Origins of Contemporary Outdoor Wall Fountains Pope Nicholas V, himself a well educated man, governed the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455 during which time he commissioned many translations of ancient classical Greek documents into Latin. He undertook the embellishment of Rome to turn it into the worthy seat of the Christian world. At the behest of the Pope, the Aqua Vergine, a ruined aqueduct which had transported clean drinking water into Rome from eight miles away, was restored starting in 1453. Building a mostra, a grandiose celebratory fountain built by ancient Romans to memorialize the entry point of an aqueduct, was a tradition revived by Nicholas V. At the behest of the Pope, architect Leon Battista Alberti began the construction of a wall fountain in the spot where we now find the Trevi Fountain. Changes 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.
