Since fall has progressed and the trees are already leafless in the New York, I thought I would put up a few of my favorite pictures of Villa Lante. This is one of my favorite gardens in Italy. I have had the opportunity to visit gardens not only throughout the U.S., but throughout many countries.
The garden is composed of two main parts called the barchetto and the parterre. The barchetto is an essential component of the villa, but is left out in later drawings. A barchetto is a labyrinthine which represents free nature, and consists of intersecting random paths. The terraced parterre is composed axially and is very geometric. The slope of terrain is incorporated and formalized in this part of the garden. With a difference in height of 15m, the garden is composed of a series of terraces. Water is a crucial element of design in the garden, and it connects the terraces together to tell a wonderful story.

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established
blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure
where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
Appreciate it
