Il giardino degli dei. Il paradigma dell’antico nelle arti della villa – Tivoli (Italy)
The garden of the gods. The paradigm of antiquity in the arts at the Villa
Although focused on the garden of the Renaissance villa, the conference may also include contributions concerning other time periods, useful for visualising the theme in a broader perspective. Many residential complexes dating back to the Roman period featured decorative and architectural elements from more remote eras, as can be seen from literary sources and from archaeological evidence: copies or original Greek works of art were beautifully displayed in the patrician houses, in the horti, in the villas and in the imperial palaces.
