Review

The Agnelli Gardens at Villar Perosa portrays both gardens and family, and it is surprisingly effective at creating in the reader a sense of the esthetic power of this place. -- The New York Times Book Review, Verlyn Klinkenborg

5.0 out of 5 stars The Agnelli Gardens at Villar Perosa - a Must Have, December 14, 2000
By A Customer

This review is from: The Agnelli Gardens at Villar Perosa: Two Centuries of a Family Retreat (Hardcover)
The stunning photos of the Agnelli Gardens span the four seasons and include shots that have been displayed on folded pages to open up over two or four pages, which give the photos extra depth. It was impossible for me to choose a favorite among them, but they sure made me wish I could go and visit the gardens first hand. The narrative was written in a personal and romantic style which made it easy to read, and was punctuated with monochrome and color photos of the house and its occupants - with beautiful children of course! The history of the property and its development spans two centuries and is told in the context of the family and the world around them, which makes it far more interesting than if it had been written only to address garden plans and project progress. To my suprise, even though the gardens are on a grand scale, I found some ideas which could be put to good use in my own garden environment. In short this lovely book did not disappoint, is well worth purchasing and keeping close at hand to look at often.
