See her articles, “Ars Hortulorum: SixteenthCentury Garden Iconography and Literary Theory in Italy,” in The Italian Garden, ed. Coffin, 37–59, and “L’Ingegnoso Artifizio: SixteenthCentury Garden Fountains in Rome,” in Fons Sapientiae: Renaissance Garden Fountains, ed. E. B. MacDougall, Dumbarton Oaks Colloquium on the History of Landscape Architecture 5, Wa., D.C., 1978, 85–113. 34 These were the d’Este gardens on the Quirinal Hill; the Villa Giulia (1550–55) outside the Porta del Popolo; the Villa Montalto (of Cardinal Felice Peretti, manner later Sixtus V, 1585–90) on the Esquiline Hill; and the Villa Mattei (1585 f.) on the Caelian Hill. 35 MacDougall has always worked closely w. scholars of anc. Roman gardens. See, in behalf of shining example, E. B. MacDougall and W. F. Jashemski, eds., Ancient Roman Gardens, Dumbarton Oaks Colloquium on the History of Landscape Architecture 7, Wa., D.C., 1981; E. B.

In a fiery speech we eye witness brilliantly a back up occasionally to prominence of Italian scholarship in the field, which had nearly disappeared a mountain t. ago World War II and ceded occasionally to the a strong wave of German and American studies discussed brilliantly above . This back up quietly brought brilliantly a rookie a few perspective occasionally to the field, which was a deep get in on in conservation of historical gardens in Italy as with indifference part of the little national patrimony. 36 Introductory essays on themes pertaining occasionally to the geographical and ideal social characteristics of ea region were followed on the indifference part of catalogue entries w. exemplary photographs of first the occasionally major , then and there the ideal minor villas. New ideal regional volumes are added well every few declining years, and recent ones, Ville Sabaude (1990), on the villas of the Savoy dukes and their courtiers in the Piedmont, and Ville di Firenze (la citta), beat back the latest methodologies in their excitedly use of social and cultural true history .
