The typical water feature used in Italianate Villa house gardens is a fountain. Fountains were a prominent feature in Italian Renaissance gardens and were often placed as a central focal point within the garden or courtyard of an Italianate Villa. These fountains were often ornate and grand, featuring classical and mythological sculptures, marble or stone basins, and intricate water jet designs. The sound and sight of running water from these fountains added a sense of elegance and aesthetic pleasure to the garden space.
