Giannini Garden Vicentina Outdoor Fountain with Pond

No, it is a self-contained system. You simply fill the 40-gallon basin with water, plug the pump into a standard outdoor electrical outlet, and the water recirculates continuously.

The fountain features a modular design, which makes it much easier to handle than a solid, single-piece unit. While the cast-stone components are heavy, the modular basin and tiers allow for straightforward assembly by two people.

Yes, the fountain is hand-built from premium cast-stone concrete, which is designed for long-term outdoor durability. The hand-applied patina is high-quality, though like all outdoor stone, it may develop a natural, weathered character over many years of exposure to the elements.

The included pump is rated at 900 GPH, providing a robust flow for the two-tiered design. While the pump is designed for this specific volume, you can typically adjust the flow rate directly on the pump housing to achieve your preferred sound level.

Maintenance is minimal. You will need to keep the water level topped off to protect the pump, clean the basin periodically to remove debris, and drain the fountain completely before the first hard freeze of winter to prevent the concrete from cracking.

At 300 pounds, this fountain is heavy enough to remain stable on a flat, level surface like a patio or stone pad. However, if you are placing it on soft ground, we recommend setting it on a solid, level foundation, such as a concrete paver or gravel bed, to prevent settling.
