description: The High Priest and the High Priestess, the Magician and Justice, the Sun, Death and the Empress, are together in an enhanted garden, which is almost like a village, immersed in the Mediterranean maquis in southern Tuscany. A Garden inspired by the major arcana of the Tarot, and created by the powerful imagination of a Franco-American artist. "I wanted to give visitors, especially children, a place of Joy, where they could enjoy art and nature together, " says Niki de Saint Phalle, who found the ideal setting for her dream - the most important work in her career - in the rolling, green, deserted hills of the Maremma, now populated by her colorful, magical Tarot Garden - or Garden of Delights. This book presents, for the first time, an illustrated account of the creation of this fascinating work, accompanied by essays by friends and art historians.
