Today, almost five centuries later, we try to give a new insight of what is left of that splendour.
The Author:
Costanza Riva researcher and scholar, has dedicated herself to the rediscovery of Ancient Traditions, as well as symbolism and mythology. She has studied Hermeticism, which subsequently drove her to further investigate historical gardens, with the publication of the books Boboli, Il Giardino Alchemico (2010) and La Grotta Grande di Boboli, laboratorio di meraviglie (2011).
In 2009 she participated on the writings of Antichi Sapori, which aims to share gastronomic customs now long forgotten. She is passionate about iconographic paintings both as an ancient painting technique and as a symbolic study of form and colour.
