Gardens of the Veneto

If you’ve never been to a Garden Historians session …. you haven’t lived! Join Debbie Trentham, Garden Historian extraordinaire, to learn more about the architecture of Palladio and the villas and gardens of the Veneto. Palladianism was to become the most influential style of the later sixteenth century. The classical nymphaeum of the Villa Barbaro will be decoded, identifying and interpreting the ten mythological figures and the iconographic scheme. The Italian Lakes as the scene for the gardens of the Borromeo family, Isola Bella and Isola Madre, and the renaissance detailing of the Villa d’Este and Villa Cicogna Mozzoni, with its fishponds and frescoes fresh from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Take a look!
