Gardens of Naples
This beautiful book surveys the gardens of Naples from Greek and Roman times to the present. Thirty-four gardens (more private than public) are included. The author is a landscape architect, historian, and scholar who chose not to include references or a bibliography, as did Georgina Masson in Italian Gardens (Antique Collectors Club, 1987. o.p.). Thus, this is more of a photographic survey that can supplement the work above. Photographer Sapieha has also done Gardens of Portugal (Scala Bks., 1989) and Gardens of Mexico (LJ 2/1/94) in the same style. A nice addition to large landscape architecture and travel collections.?Laura Lipton, Miller Horticulture Lib., SeattleCopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
