Characteristics of Italian Gardens

• Very formal lines that intersect.

• Result of hot climate.

• Influences French baroque gardens.

• Geometrically patterned beds, or parterres, are a distinct element

of the Italian style.

• Traditionally, Italian gardens had few flowers. The plants were

primarily evergreens for texture and shape, often in manicured
topiary.

CHARACTERISTICS
• Display and backdrop for sculpture

• Historic themes

• Contrast of sun and shade

• Shady alle or walk

• Steps, urns and balustrades.

• Geometrical to serpentine.

• Designed to be inspiring all year round.

• Not dependent on color.

• An expansive vista.

CHARACTERISTICS
• There is no single style Italian garden. Italy has many
diverse regions that influence the form and function of its
gardens. Today's Italian gardens are not only shaped by
climate and geography, but also history. Roman and
Renaissance styles, for example, branded their own stamp
on garden design.

• Italy has inspired much in garden design. From the

frescoes of Pompeii's courtyard gardens to the classical
marble tiles that bedecked Roman patios.

• Like many European gardens, most Italian gardens

throughout history have been highly stylized, but markedly
functional. For instance, a villa garden would have distinct
sections - the orchard, the patio, the flowerbeds, a pond or
water element, and most likely a kitchen garden.

• It basically displayed careful design to showcase man's

control of nature.
• Italian gardens have not developed as a result of
havoc or unintentional experiments.

•
HISTORY
The design has been a result of aristocratic and social
control. Italian culture and thoughts have left definite
impact on the look of Italian gardens since ever. Even
the most contemporary designs are not free of the
impact.

• The perfect Italian gardens bring with them the fusion

of formal and informal outline.

• Italian gardens require loads of contemplation and

even the informal zone is to be well conceptualized.
The geometrical plants take care of the formal
preview, and a natural presentation suffices for the
informal space. By natural presentation, the theory is
to preserve the natural aesthetics, such that they gel
well with the formal frame.

• The perfect Italian garden would have a shaded

space for you and company to sit and be delighted
about the efforts that have helped with the great
green presentation.
