Gardens in Emilia-Romagna, Italy

In terms of design, Italian renaissance gardens are the best in Europe and, arguably, the best residential gardens in the world. Their design was led by wealthy and artistically inclined patrons who were able to draw upon a wide range of brilliant artists and highly skilled garden craftsmen. There can hardly be a better arrangement for making gardens, as proved by the high quality of Italian garden design.
