Title: Pietro Porcinai and the Landscapes of Modern Italy
Description: Thoughts of landscape design in Italy normally center on the great gardens of the Renaissance, gardens such as those at the Villa Lante in Bagnaia or the Ville d'Este in Tivoli. However, there was one landscape architect, active from the 1930s until his death in 1986, whose work counters any idea that no modern works of international significance were produced on Italian soil. That person was Pietro Porcinai.
