Utile guida alle ville e ai giardini nei dintorni di Firenze, il libro permette di conoscere i complessi architettonici rurali delle più illustri e nobili famiglie fiorentine, prima fra tutte quella dei Medici, e le testimonianze archeologiche della Piana e delle colline a nord-ovest di Firenze. "Circondate da splendidi parchi e giardini - recita la presentazione di Matteo Renzi - le ville medicee, ma non solo, sono una grande ricchezza per i fiorentini ma anche per i turisti". A partire dalla formidabile triade delle ville medicee della zona di confine con Sesto: Petraia, Castello e Corsini, recentemente rilanciata anche grazie al restauro e all'esposizione di pezzi antichi provenienti dagli Uffizi. Ma tante altre ville, musei, luoghi privilegiati per l'incontro con la natura e con l'arte costellano il percorso: ognuno potrà divertirsi a scoprirli, sul territorio e sul volume. "L'iniziativa inviterà chi non ne ha l'esperienza diretta - scrive Cristina Acidini - a familiarizzare con le novità degli ultimi anni, dalla sistemazione delle magnifiche fontane cinquecentesche di Castello e Petraia alle colture introdotte nei giardini.

By exploring the evolution of the Medici family’s villas, Cultivating the Renaissance charts the shifting politics, philosophy and aesthetics of the age and chronicles the rise of an extraordinary family from obscure farmers to European royalty. From the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, the Medici family dominated European life. While promoting both arts and sciences, the Medici helped create a new style of architecture, present a new idea of villa life and promote the novel idea of living in harmony with nature. Used variously for pleasure and sports, scholarly and amorous liaisons, commercial enterprise and botanical experimentation, their villas both expressed and influenced contemporary ideas on politics, philosophy, art and design. Each patron's public interests and private passions, as well as the architects, artists and philosophers they employed, are examined. Through a chronological approach, this book reveals how the villas were used, their reception by contemporary commentators, their legacy and their current state five centuries after they were first built. Lavishly illustrated, Cultivating the Renaissance is of great interest to students and scholars of architecture, horticulture, landscape history, philosophy, art and the history of the Renaissance in Italy.

A classic account of the villa—from ancient Rome to the twentieth century—by “the preeminent American scholar of Italian Renaissance architecture” (Architect’s Newspaper) In The Villa, James Ackerman explores villa building in the West from ancient Rome to twentieth-century France and America. In this wide-ranging book, he illuminates such topics as the early villas of the Medici, the rise of the Palladian villa in England, and the modern villas of Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. Ackerman uses the phenomenon of the “country place” as a focus for examining the relationships between urban and rural life, between building and the natural environment, and between architectural design and social, cultural, economic, and political forces. “The villa,” he reminds us, “accommodates a fantasy which is impervious to reality.” As city dwellers idealized country life, the villa, unlike the farmhouse, became associated with pleasure and asserted its modernity and status as a product of the architect’s imagination.

Medici Gardens challenges the common assumption that such gardens as Trebbio, Cafaggiolo, Careggi, and Fiesole were the products of an established design practice whereby one client commissioned one architect or artist. The book suggests that in the case of the gardens in Florence garden making preceded its theoretical articulation.
