The essays in this volume focus on the different aspects of
Italian gardens of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This
volume is divided into two parts, with the first part concentrating
on the decorations in Roman gardens of the sixteenth centuries,
especially the fountains and statue collections, their iconographic
programs, and their relationship to contemporary and ancient
literature.
The second half of the volume considers two particular sites.
The first, a Savoy duke's villa, is considered through the history
of its construction and its relationship to contemporary festivity
architecture. The second essay considers a secret garden at the
Palazzo Barberini in the 1630s. Also included are illustrations and
text from three Barberini manuscripts documenting the plants used
in this garden.
