At Stesa, we hopped on a private taxi/ferry that took us to the three Borromeo Islands one after another: Isola Madre, Isola Pescatori and then finally Isola Bella. It was an all day affair, island hopping, visiting magnificent Italian villas and their gardens, taking in the beauty of the tiny islands. The boats speed across the lake taking only a few minutes to reach their island destinations.
These magnificent gardens symbolize, thanks to the rythym and the simmetry, the harmony of the universe and the order of the cosmos. The water games of the fountains, real works of hydraulic engineering, mingle with evergreen trees and bushes arranged according to precise geometric orders with merely scenographic purposes. Avenues, cascades, pools, spectacular fountains were actually designed by the architects of the period to mesmerize visitors.
Hadrian's Villa (Villa Adriana) in Tivoli bears witness to the grandeur of the Roman Empire. It is one of the best kept and most visited archaeological sites in Italy. This is why it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.
The villa was built by Roman Emperor Hadrian at the foot of the Tiburtine Hills between 118 and 138 AD. The vast residential complex extended over an area of about 120 hectares (about 300 acres) and looked very much like an ancient Roman city. The site included buildings, baths, temples, barracks, theatres, gardens, fountains and nymphaeums. The villa itself was designed on two levels: the upper floor, quiet and welcoming, was reserved for the emperors official use, while the lower floor was noisy and bustled with the work of slaves.
I have been photographing gardens and plants on a freelance basis for many years. I distribute my work through the specialist horticultural image library GAP Photos . I am also happy to undertake commissioned garden photography, so please do get in touch if you would like to discuss a commission.
With interests in garden history and in that rather esoteric topic of what gardens are actually for, combined with a strong sense of connection to these spaces, I also use my images in a range of garden talks which feature gardens from many parts the world and where possible using gardens that people may not know well.
Based in the picturesque village of Offenham near Evesham in Worcestershire, with my other hat on I am the under-gardener at Langdale Garden , which my wife Sheila & I have developed since moving to Offenham in 2009.
This talk sets the context for the development of the Renaissance garden in Italy, discusses the principle resources available to architects at that time including a short section on Villa Adriana in Tivoli, and then explores a number of great examples including The Boboli Garden, Villa d'Este, Villa Lante, Villa Gamberaia & Villa Garzoni, finishing with Villa I Tatti & Villa La Foce both created in the 20th century in the Renaissance style.
This talk describes the development of our new Worcestershire garden from the day we moved into the house in June 2009 to the day we first opened it for the National Garden Scheme in August 2013, and its ongoing progress since then. The garden is open for pre-booked small group visits (12 per year) and under the National Garden Scheme (NGS / Yellow Book) with the money raised going to charities and good causes.
Overall, the piece amounted to filming border landscapes and crossings, telling the stories of the people of Del Rio, Texas, and the neighboring Acuña, Mexico, interviewing the Mexico and Guatemala consulates, the studio design response for and with communities migrating, and engaging visitors passing through the garden space of the Palazzo Mora painting their own stories.
What do I like about the garden? Almost everything. The design, the trees, the garden rooms, the craftsmanship, the intellectual underpinnings and historical references, and the fact that the landscape is one of both variety and unity. If ever a garden was a work of art, this is it.
Farrand and her mother returned to Europe frequently before World War I, mingling with the likes of Wharton, James and the expat owners of various Mediterranean gardens and villas. They resembled characters from a novel by Wharton or James or a painting by Sargent.
The references are multilayered, and the garden itself is a synthesis of Italian, French and English styles. But it is not a pastiche; its own authentic character is molded by its complex response to its setting, climate, plant palette and the protean skies of the Mid-Atlantic. From the northern edges of the elevated terraces, the sky is an integral part of the vista.
Hadrian's Villa (Italian: Villa Adriana; Latin: Villa Hadriana) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising the ruins and archaeological remains of a large villa complex built around AD 120 by Roman Emperor Hadrian near Tivoli outside Rome.
It is the most imposing and complex Roman villa known. The complex contains over 30 monumental and scenic buildings arranged on a series of artificial esplanades at different heights and surrounded by gardens decorated with water basins and nymphaea (fountains). The whole covers an area of at least a square kilometre, an area larger than the city of Pompeii. In addition to the villa's impressive layout, many of the buildings are considered masterpieces of architecture, making use of striking curved shapes enabled by extensive use of concrete. They were ingenious for the complex symmetry of their ground plans and are considered unrivalled until the arrival of Baroque architecture in the 1600s initiated by Borromini who used Hadrian's Villa for inspiration.[1]
The first documented rediscovery of the villa was by Historian Biondo Flavio in the late 15th century who brought its attention to Pope Pius II whose writings on the villa in his Comeratti began to pique architectural interest in the villa.[4] In the 16th century, Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este had much of the remaining marble and statues in Hadrian's Villa removed to decorate his own Villa d'Este located nearby.[3][4] Since that period, excavations have sporadically turned up more fragments and sculptures, some of which have been kept in situ or housed on site in the display buildings.[citation needed]
Hadrian's Villa is a vast area of land with many pools, baths, fountains and classical Greek and Roman architecture set in what would have been a mixture of landscaped gardens, wilderness areas and cultivated farmlands. Due to Hadrian's travels, he also commissioned Egyptian style buildings and statues, even naming some of the buildings after Egyptian cities or temples.[citation needed]
The buildings are constructed in travertine, brick, lime, pozzolana, and tufa. Villas were typically sited on hilltops, but with its fountains, pools and gardens, Hadrian's villa required abundant sources of water, which was supplied by aqueducts feeding Rome, including the Aqua Anio Vetus, Aqua Anio Novus, Aqua Marcia, and Aqua Claudia. To avail themselves of those sources, the villa had to be located on land lower than the aqueduct.[5]
The complex of the villa contains many structures from different cultures. For example, the villa has a small Nile River running through it that relates back to the Egyptian Nile river. Also, the villa had Poikilos, which are Greek figures that were seen in ancient Greece. Written evidence we have of Hadrian's Villa in ancient writing is from the Historia Augusta, which describes how Hadrian named rooms of the villa after various significant locations within the Roman Empire (the Lyceum, the Academy, Hades) and these continue today to be the terms scholars use to describe sections of the villa.[2]
Hadrian's Pecile located inside the villa was a huge garden surrounded by a swimming pool and an arcade. The pool's dimensions measure 232 by 97 metres (761 by 318 ft). Originally, the pool was surrounded by four walls with colonnaded interior. These columns helped to support the roof. In the centre of the quadriportico was a large rectangular pool. The four walls create a peaceful solitude for Hadrian and guests.[citation needed]
In September 2013, a network of tunnels was investigated, buried deep beneath the villa; these were probably service routes for staff so that the idyllic nature of the landscape might remain undisturbed. The site housed several thousand people including staff, visitors, servants and slaves. Although much major activity would have been engaged in during Hadrian's absence on tours of inspection of the provinces a great many people (and animals) must have been moving about the Tivoli site on a daily basis.[citation needed]
Many beautiful artifacts have been unearthed and restored at the villa, such as marble statues of Antinous, Hadrian's deified lover, accidentally drowned in Egypt, and mosaics from the theatre and baths.[citation needed]
In 2016, as part of the reorganization of the Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, Hadrian's Villa, the neighboring Villa d'Este and the Temple of Hercules in Tivoli were placed under the supervision of the newly-created Istituto Autonomo di Villa Adriana.[citation needed]
In 2019, UNESCO designated Hadrian's Villa as a site with special immunity from wartime activity due to its profound symbolic value.[18] This added level of security prohibits U.N. members from attacking the site or using it for military purposes in the event of a war.[citation needed]
In 2021 February, archaeologists led by researcher Rafael Hidalgo Prieto from the Pablo de Olavide University announced the discovery of remains of Hadrian's breakfast room which used to show his imperial power. They revealed a structure as a water triclinium and a separate dining room that served as a model for the well-known Serapeum.[19][20]
I swapped in tinned lentils for the garden vegetables, which made it actually very quick to cook. The way the flavours melded was great, and then with the finishing touch of the three cheese mix, I was in comfort food heaven. I used a fresh rocket-spinach mix, as well as leftover radish greens, for the green side of the soup. I will definitely be making this again! I had a large helping and there were leftovers. Woot!
