Il giardino è lo specchio delle civiltà: scenario privilegiato della vita di donne e di uomini, dei grandi personaggi come delle più umili comparse. Tracciarne la storia è un viaggio nel tempo e nello spazio alla ricerca dell’ideale di bellezza che ha plasmato le sue forme nei secoli. Se nel passato le differenze culturali e politiche hanno consolidato stili e modelli, oggi la mobilità delle persone e delle idee ha permesso al giardino di rompere ogni costrizione formale per acquistare una dimensione planetaria quale base comune di civiltà e di uguaglianza fra i popoli. Il volume propone un percorso che si sviluppa fra Oriente e Occidente, fra il rispetto delle regole, l’affermazione del potere e la continua riscoperta della natura, per svelarci un mondo di poesia e di sogni, che ha via via assunto un valore etico e sociale ispirato dalla libertà espressiva dell’arte della natura. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… The garden is the mirror of civilisations: a privileged setting for the lives of women and men, of great figures as well as the most humble extras. Tracing its history is a journey through time and space in search of the ideal of beauty that has shaped its forms over the centuries. If in the past cultural and political differences consolidated styles and models, today the mobility of people and ideas has allowed the garden to break every formal constraint to acquire a planetary dimension as a common basis of civilization and equality between peoples. The volume proposes a path that develops between East and West, between respect for the rules, the affirmation of power and the continuous rediscovery of nature, to reveal to us a world of poetry and dreams, which has gradually taken on an ethical and social inspired by the expressive freedom of the art of nature.]
