This history of Italian gardens opens in Petrarch's late-medieval plot and closes with the modern gardens os Pietro Porcinai and Russell Page. The great gardens of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque are brilliantly featured, but so are the lesser known examples from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. These are not empty terraces: they are peopled by guests in their silks who find themselves suddenly drenched by powerful water tricks, seduced by ethereal music, or invited at a banquet.
