Italian gardens vary widely according to their historical date and
geographic location. This collection approaches Italian gardens of
all periods, from the middle ages to modern times, and it ranges
widely throughout the peninsula, from Genoa to Sicily, the Veneto
to Liguria, and Ferrara to Florence. The authors are a
distinguished group of Italian, American, English and German
scholars, with different backgrounds in art history, literature,
architecture, planning, and cultural history. The explorations of
the subject from these different perspectives illuminate not only
their own disciplines, but are concerned to make many fresh
connections between garden art and the politics of nationalism,
between the art of gardens and urban infrastructure, between
cultural movements like freemasonry and site planning, between
design and planting materials. The book offers therefore a
narrative of the garden by selecting ten high points of its
history, which are introduced with a consideration by the volume
editor of the fresh challenges to contemporary Italian garden
history.
