Ravishingly photographed romantic beyond reason this book devoted to the most celebrated gardens of southern Italy captures the inexhaustible lure of one of the most beautiful places on earth: Campania the sun-kissed region that is home to Naples Capri and the Amalfi Coast. Erstwhile pleasure dome to the Roman emperors and still Italy's most glamorous seaside getaway this province has been a top destination for garden appassionati for decades. Bewitched by the natural splendours of the region author and photographer Robert I.C. Fisher has created a 200-page celebration of twenty-four of southern Italy's finest gardens. In Ravello the rampageous roses of Villa Cimbrone once warmed the famously chilly heart of Greta Garbo while off the coast of Positano the private Li Galli islands were the last home of Rudolf Nureyev. In Sorrento Lord Astor's garden is a monument to English exoticism and on Capri Graham Greene discovered his legendary retreat. Understanding that the potent allure of gardens is not only about plants and species Fisher also tells the stories of some of the fascinating people who dedicated their lives to creating and nurturing these treasures. The gardens' special magic is captured in lush mouth-watering photographs whether it be of turn-of-the-century Sorrento picture-perfect Positano medieval Amalfi or island-in-the-sky Ravello. Prepare for enchantment as through these bougainvillea-bright pages you visit the garden Shangri-La that is Campania.
