Visitors to the Vatican Galleries, when they turn away from the works of art, may look out of the long windows and catch glimpses of lawns and trees, or intricate parterres with boxwood hedges. or climbing to the dome of St. Peter's, daunted as they may be by the vertical stairs with walls narrowing as they ascend, they may enjoy marvellous aerial views. And often they wish they could walk in those pleasant paths shadowed by ancient trees.Twenty seven years in the making, The Gardens of the Vatican is a private photographic tour of eight centuries of green thoughts in a green shade.' The several gardens in the Vatican territory reflect the history of gardens in general. In addition to the Persian influenced quadrant gardens of the Tenton Cemetery and the Secret Garden, adorned with lemon trees in pots, there are gardens in the Italian, French,and English styles.The book is rich in anecdote and detail: Pope John XXIII liked to ramble along the pathways and chat with the gardeners. His predecessor Pius XII wanted solitude, so the gardeners were obliged to hide. There is a fragment of the Berlin Wall, a Chinese pavilion given by the Catholics of that country, and a gnarled old olive tree transplanted from the Gethsemane in the Holy Land.The Gardens of the Vaticanoffers a fascinating and inspiring glimpse of a bachelor's refuge, through eight centuries of history.

"Covering the period from the thirteenth century through 1930, when the Vatican became a state, The Vatican Gardens explores the plants, planters, and architectural structures of the gardens in fascinating detail. Here you will learn about such celebrated gardeners as Michele Mercate, who around 1570 introduced the rarest plants of his time to the Vatican, and the great botanist Johannes Faber. The famous Cortile del Belvedere courtyard, designed by Donato Branmante for Pope Julius II and envisioned as a vast outdoor room, is brought to vibrant life through word and image. Discussion of the Gardens' symbolic significance, agricultural functions, and upkeep by such gardening popes as Leo XIII--as well as of the gardens at Castel Gandolfo, the popes four-centuries-old summer residence--completes this authoritative volume."--From publisher description.

Towards the end of the 1800s, the palace of the Corsini family and its garden were acquired by the Italian State. The complex had undergone a radical transformation in the mid-eighteenth century, when Cardinal Neri Maria Corsini had entrusted the renovation of this property to the architect Ferdinando Fuga. In this occasion the palace was transformed from Renaissance to eighteenth-century, and the surrounding area was enriched by a magnificent set of low buildings, fountains and ornamental architecture that became the backdrop for laurel and Italian gardens. When the first director of the Botanic Garden, Pietro Romualdo Pirotta, took possession of this area (1883), it was already in its fourth official location. In fact, the Botanic Garden of Rome has a history full of vicissitudes, concerning both the scientific institution and the area of residence itself. On these tracks moves the research "Rome and its Botanical Garden", to remember both the history of the Botanical Garden at Villa Corsini, and the origins of this institution, starting from the first Hortus Simplicium of 1278. In Rome, in fact, the Botanic Garden is the heir of the Viridarium, the section of the Vatican gardens in which the papal archiater (chief physician) cultivated medicinal plants. The first document on this institution is represented by the plaque, that today is in the “Sala dei Capitani” of the Capitoline Museums, which states that Pope Nicholas III, in 1278, had a sector of the garden built for this purpose. Nicholas V, in 1477, took an interest in its Viridaria and Pius V, in the 16th century, called the Tuscan physician Michele Mercati to direct the Vatican Garden. Since there was a collection of medicinal plants in the Vatican Garden, from which the university professors took the plants to show their students (Ostensiones simplicium), there was no immediate need in Rome for a university Botanic Garden, as instead was the case in other Italian cities, such as Padua and Pisa.
