The Gardens illustrated are grouped by districts, beginning in the South with Rome, followed by the neighbourhood of the Eternal City—as Tivoli and Frascati, Bagnaia and Caprarola. Proceeding northwards the reader comes to Florence, famous for the Villas and Gardens in the neighbourhood of the City. Then follows Venetia, with the celebrated Malcontenta, Stra and Maser. The Lake District succeeds, with Balbianello and the Borromenian Islands; and finally the inexhaustible regions of Italian art at Genoa, renowned for superb examples of palatial architecture and gardening art.
