COLLECTORS FORUM

The Renaissance Gardens of Italy

Discover some of the finest and most flamboyant gardens ever produced as we retrace their origins and history of Italian Renaissance gardens as well as the many characteristic elements which still define their aura today. While the seeds of these gardens were planted in Florence, we will see how they continued to develop and flourish from Lucca to Rome. Throughout this virtual garden tour, you will also come to understand the importance of water in achieving a harmonious balance between nature and architecture as well as the role of statuary in the first outdoor museums.
