D.Fontana

Seems like the first 'excavator' was D.Fontana who made underground tunnel under Pompeii to conduct water from river Sarno to Torre Annunziata.
Could someone help with images of this Sarno channel in Pompeii and outside? Do you find this valuable?

Between 1594 and 1600, Domenico Fontana dug an underground channel through Pompeii passing close by the amphitheatre. Unfortunately I am unaware of any pictures of the channel. Do you find this valuable?

key "canal" within a domain http://www.pompeiiinpictures.net Do you find this valuable?
