30th September 1581

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) was a French philosopher, writer and politician of the Renaissance age.
In 1580-1581, he travelled through Europe and visited many gardens.
On 30th September 1581, he visited the garden of Villa Lante in Bagnaia, which he described passionately:

"Le samedi, dernier Septembre, je partis de bon matin de Viterbe, et je pris la route de Bagnaia. C'est un endroit appartenant au cardinal Gambara qui est fort orné, et surtout si bien pourvu des fontaines, qu'en cette partie il paroit non seulement égaler, mais surpasser meme Pratolino et Tivoli. Il y a d'abord une fontaine d'eau vive, ce que n'a pas Tivoli, et très abondante, ce qui n'a pas Pratolino, de façon qu'elle suffit à une infinité de distributions sous différents dessins. Le meme Mr. Thomas de Sienne qui a conduit l'ouvrage à Tivoli, conduit encore celui-ci qui n'est pas achevé. Ainsi ajoutant toujours de nouvelles inventions aux anciennes, il a mis dans cette dernière construction beaucoup plus d'art, de beautés et d'agrément. Parmi les différents pièces qui la décorent, on voit une pyramide fort élévée qui jette de l'eau de plusieurs manières différentes: celle-ci monte, celle-là descend. Autour de la pyramide, sont quatre petits lacs beaux, clairs, purs et remplis d'eau. Au milieu de chacun une gondole de pierre, montée par deux Arquebusiers, qui, après avoir pompé l'eau, la lancent avec leurs arbaletes contre la pyramide, et par un trompette qui tire aussi de l'eau. On se promène autour de ses lacs et de la pyramide par de très belles allées, où l'on trouve des appuis de pierre d'un fort beau travai. Il y a d'autres parties qui plurent encore plus à quelques d'autre spectacteurs.
Le Palais est petit, mais d'une structure agréable. Autant que je puis me connoitre, cet endroit certainement l'emporte de beaucoup sur bien d'autres, par l'usage et l'emploi des eaux. Le Cardinal n'y etoit pas; mais comme il est François dans le coeur, ses gens nous firent toutes les politesses et les amitiés qu'on peut désirer."

HELEN FRANKENTHALER
"PAINTING WITHOUT RULES" is the new temporary exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi - until 26.01.2025.
Helen Frankenthaler was born in 1928 in New York City.
She was a pivotal artist in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Color Field painting. Influenced by Cézanne, Picasso, Georges Braque, she admired Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.
Her innovative "soak-stain" technique led to the creation of translucent color fields.
A few snapshots from my first visit today.
Enjoy 🎨

On 27th September 1572, Pope Gregory XIII visited Villa d'Este in Tivoli.
Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, the villa's owner and commissioner, was enthusiastic.
According to tradition, the Dragons Fountain was completed the night before Pope's visit. The four dragons were a personal homage to Pope Gregory XIII, whose coat of arms was a winged dragon.

🐉🐲The dragon is a constant thread in garden history: in mythology, it was considered the sleepless custodian of the gardens, such as Ladone in the Garden of Hesperides.
Later, the Bible reused the dragon as the snake, custodian of the Garden of Eden.

On 17th September 1568 cardinal Giovanni Francesco Gambara from Viterbo wrote and solicited cardinal Alessandro Farnese to send him his best architect, Jacopo Barozzi known as Vignola, in order to discuss the project for his garden at Villa Lante in Bagnaia, on the following day.
On 18th September 1568, cardinal Giovanni Francesco Gambara received cardinal Alessandro Farnese's prompt reply from Caprarola.

17th September 1568
✉️✒️Cardinal Gambara to cardinal Farnese:
"Jo aspettava il Vignola oggi, con desiderio, per potermi partire di qui diman da mattina, ma poi che intendo che non è per venire supplico almeno vostra signoria illustrissima, che lo mandi qui diman da mattina a buon hora, che a questo fine mi trattenerò per parlarli... Jo disegno di desinare a Bagnaia supplico vostra signoria illustrissima che mi faccia gratia di mandar quando prima il Vignola con il quale mi è necessario di parlare."

18th September 1568
✒️✉️Cardinal Farnese to cardinal Gambara:
[...] "Il Vignola è già venuto costà per trovare vostra signoria illustrissima et intender dallei quanto ella gli commanderà, a me non occorre dirle altro in risposta della sua, che basciarle humilissimamente la mano, et pregarle dal signor Dio ogni contento et prosperità."

On 10th September 1578 Pope Gregorio XIII set off to Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola, as it is described by Fabio Ardizio in his chronicles.

"Havendo la Santità di Nostro Signore molti giorni et mesi prima disegnato alle prime acque d'agosto, et come fusse ben rinfrescato et temperato l'aere, uscir di Roma et conferirsi per sua divotione al tempio della Madonna della Quercia vicino a Viterbo (...) determinò di voler con tale occasione non solo riveder per la strada Caprarola del signor Farnese et Bagnaia del signor cardinale di Gambara vicina al detto tempio, ma di passar più oltre fino alla Sforzescha ne confini di Siena, luogo del signor cardinale Sforza, essendo massime stata supplicata più volte dalli sopradetti illustrissimi signori a voler far loro questo favore.
Et così partì di Roma mercordì allì X di settembre prossimo passato del 1578, accompagnato dalli cardinali Como e San Sisto et dal signor Jacomo Boncompagno con la guardia d suoi cavalli leggieri nel numero di ottanta et da cento sguizzeri con buona parte della sua famiglia."
- Fabrio Ardizio, Visita di Gregorio XIII (Roma, Biblioteca Fondazione Marco Basso, Fondo Goretti 6/5).

🤔Lastly I was complaining about the fact that there is no possibility to study garden history in Italy... and that I needed to attend several courses abroad to improve my knowledge about parks and gardens...

🤓Well, on April 2024 the Ministry of Culture in Italy along with Fondazione Scuola Beni Attività Culturali started a new online course based on garden history, legislation, management of historical parks and gardens, development and marketing of historical parks and gardens, accessibility and security.

📓The 25-hours online course was promoted and funded by the European Union - Next Generation EU.
I successfully attended the whole course.

🎓I am happy and proud to share this new achievement with you 😊🌳🌷
