1, Italian garden.

The tradition of Italian gardens began in Roman times. Although the gardening art in ancient Rome was influenced by Greece, it formed a clear style, composition and artistic conception. Although there are few complete gardens left in Roman times, we can only understand their basic features from some archaeological remains, murals and text descriptions, such as trees and flowers, planting altar lawns, fountain sculptures, avenues and green sculptures, which have become the main gardening features of Italian villa gardens, and this feature was later carried forward in the Renaissance.

2. Villa Adrijana: the royal garden of ancient Rome.

Hadrian was one of the five outstanding emperors in ancient Roman history. He was born into a wealthy Spanish immigrant family and is a distant in-law of former monarch Trajan. Hadrian made great contributions to the expansion of the Roman Empire, and at the same time he had high attainments in poetry, mathematics, architecture and painting. During Hadrian's reign, Goethe once said that if he could choose his whole life, he would most like to live in the Roman Empire during Hadrian's reign.

The Louvre Garden, located in Ravello on the Italian Amalfi coast, is a beautiful garden. Built in the13rd century, it is the residence of the local aristocratic Louvre family, which also built Ravello Cathedral and Square. The manor is extremely luxurious. Less than a century after its completion, Boccaccio was fascinated when he came here. Decameron describes this garden.

When Wagner, a master of modern music, came to Laviro, he was also fascinated by this garden. 1880 In the spring, Wagner went to the Amalfi coast with the artist Jonkousky. In Ravello, he visited the Louvre Manor and claimed to have discovered the "Klingsor Garden" in the second act of parsifal, which was extremely chaotic.
