Gardens of Lucca by Maria Adriana Giusti PDF Summary

Book Description: With singular specificity in regard to the theme of villas and palazzi, The theatre of nature in town and country provides a rare opportunity to evaluate the great phases in garden history: the hortus conclusus or monastery and city garden, the locus amoenus or humanist place of delight, the baroque theatre of nature and spectacle, landscapism, modernism and the contemporary scene. The garden is a secret space of nature that opens itself up to the infinite variations of culture, of fashion, of botanical experimentation, in the backlighting of an opulent and cultivated society that maintains standards of quality even after the transition from the complex but unitary aristocratic management of the villa landscape to the more multifacetted and heterogeneous bourgeois management caused profound changes to the territory. Against this background national and international influences weave a close web of gardens, exuberant with waters, natural and artificial features, atmospheric sensibilities, botanical curiosities. That they may be adapted to individual topographical contexts, to changes of ownership and to celebratory instances of ennoblement, they are modelled and remodelled by merchant patrons who often hold diplomatic or political office in Tuscany, Rome or elsewhere in Europe, coming into contact with architects, gardeners, hydraulic experts, scenographers and artists. The work-site of the city walls of Lucca, which went on for more than a century, turned out to be an epicentre of irradiation for constructional and other techniques.
