Overview

“The truth is that a garden is like a tightrope without a net. It is always unique, and it demands courage and an untethered mind.” Every garden possesses its own unique beauty, just as every place holds a mysterious equilibrium within it. This is the premise advanced by Anna Scaravella, a renowned expert in landscape architecture who views every project as a new opportunity to explore the alchemy of plant culture and design. Scaravella’s unerring instincts and aesthetic rigor bring her to the nexus of garden and landscape, resulting in the creation of places that are not only marvelous but also energy-conscious and environmentally sustainable. This splendid volume of photography takes us on a journey through ten gardens from northern to southern Italy: from the garden of Villa Albera in Lombardy to the hills of Piacenza with Villa Bellaria, on to Bagno Vignoni in Tuscany, and then even further south, to marvelous Ostuni. Scaravella has crafted magnificent oases of peace and beauty and invited us to visit and admire them by her side.
