THE EUROPEAN GARDEN

di ZOPPI M.
Editore: ANGELO PONTECORBOLI EDITORE  (2016)

Descrizione

For an extremely long period the Mediterranean was the almost exclusive site of western culture. Here, the garden became the idealization of a perfect and immutable world, the reflection of nature. It was a romantic ideal of an aesthetic naturalness blessed by the gods and given to men. Through the ages, aesthetic taste and garden form changed. Its contours transformed from the cloister, an enclosed oasis of peace far from the suffering of the world, into the exaltation of reason and the capacity of man, the interpreter and measure of all things. Gardens successively became the representation of the magnificence of the man-king who consecrates his triumph and his glory. From the 18th and 19th centuries new values affirmed themselves. The French and Industrial Revolutions transformed social organization and established the basis of a renewed aesthetic sense. Nature, mother of all things, permeated the idea of the garden’s plan, and gradually, entered and became part of the design for cities.
