Private Italian Gardens

A must-have for garden lovers, this stunning book introduces private Italian properties never before seen by an international public. Located on the properties of well-known Italian families, such as the Agnellis, the thirteen gardens showcased in this book are the creations of one of Italy’s most renowned landscape designers, Paolo Pejrone. Representative of Italy’s unique biodiversity, the lavish gardens are located in various parts of the country, from the tranquil Alpine region of Piedmont and the sunny Riviera seashore, to Tuscany, Rome, Corsica, and the Mediterranean island of Isola d’Elba.
With stunning specially commissioned photographs, this volume offers readers the rare opportunity to enter these exquisite private spaces—and to delve into the idyllic beauty of Italian garden design.
