Tuscany Artists Gardens

Niki de Saint Phalle's extraordinary 'Tarot Garden' houses twenty-two polychromatic sculptures representing the major arcana of the Tarot, while in Fernando Botero's 'Garden for the Goddess of Fertility', monumental bronze figures loom out of the trees. Maria Sgaravatti's essays offer telling insights into the artists' motivations, and explore the ways in which their work is intrinsically connected to the magical beauty of the Tuscan landscape, while Mario Ciampi's photographs perfectly evoke the atmosphere of each garden. The descriptions of the gardens present many exciting gardening solutions and will become a useful and original source of inspiration for anyone working in the field.
