Bellezza e produttività nel giardino e nel paesaggio rurale italiano

From antiquity to the present day, the history of the Italian landscape has been characterized by the tension and dialogue between beauty and productivity. In spite of the overall thematic unity, regional differences have emerged as an expression of the variety of the Italian territory as well as Italy’s sociopolitical history. This volume attempts to explore this utile-dulci relationship, by analyzing its relevance for the economy of the villa and presenting examples related to the reintroduction of prestigious vines, orchards and vegetable gardens in different historical sites, testifying to the renewed interest in the productive garden and landscape.
