Historical gardens, truth and fiction

International Landscape Study Days 2019, fifteenth seminar
-

Readings, restorations, critical interpretations of historical models in the 20th and 21st century landscape

The topic chosen for the study days seeks to underline the importance of keeping alive both research and exchanges around “historical gardens” so that they may continue playing a germinal and proactive role in the context of the debate on contemporary landscape, guiding all levels of courses of study in this field, and on the places where one is called upon to intervene, in settings where this historical heritage is extensively and deeply embodied.
