Richly illustrated.
A synthetic history about gardens and human sexuality. Schnadelbach, Professor of Landscape Architecture, here exposes the engaging and intertwined lives of a group of expatriates, their secluded hillside villas and secret gardens that ushered a new direction in garden design. Three successive new gardens at Villas Gamberaia, La Pietra and I Tatti were among the earliest Modernist landscapes and were an inspiration many landscape professionals in Britain and America. Villa La Pietra was formerly the home of Arthur Acton and later of his son Harold Acton; Villa I Tatti was for sixty years the home of art historian Bernard Berenson and is now The Harvard Center for Italian Renaissance Studies.
