Italienische Villen und ihre Gärten, die auf viel einfachere Linien ausgerichtet sind, haben den gleichen Mangel an persönlichem Charme. Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass ThatFlorence so lange unter der Herrschaft einer allmächtigen Familie stand, dass es so wenig Abwechslung in Hergenusshäusern gibt. Pratolino, Poggio a Caiano, Cafag-giuolo, Careggi, Castello und Petraia, ein und alle, gleich welcher Herkunft, gingen bald in das Besitzerschiff der Medici über, und so in das der österreichischen Herzogtümer, die ihnen nachfolgten; Und von den Dreien, deren Gärten teilweise erhalten sind, Castello, Petraia und Poggio Imperiale, kann man sagen, dass sie so sind

Italian villas and their gardens . gned on much simpler lines, have the same lack ofpersonal charm. It is perhaps owing to the fact thatFlorence was so long under the dominion of one all-powerful family that there is so little variety in herpleasure-houses. Pratolino, Poggio a Caiano, Cafag-giuolo, Careggi, Castello and Petraia, one and all, whatever their origin, soon passed into the possessor-ship of the Medici, and thence into that of the Austriangrand dukes who succeeded them; and of the threewhose gardens have been partly preserved, Castello, Petraia and Poggio Imperiale, it may be said that theyhave the same impersonal official look as the Boboli. Castello and Petraia, situated a mile apart beyond thevillage of Quarto, were both built by Buontalenti, thatbrilliant pupil of Ammanatis who had a share in theplanning of the gardens behind the Pitti. Castellostands on level ground, and its severely plain facade, with windows on consoles and rusticated doorway, faceswhat is now a highway, though, according to the print 3^. FLORENTINE VILLAS of Zocchi, the eighteenth-century engraver, a semicir-cular space enclosed in a low wall once extended be-tween the house and the road, as at the neighbouringVilla Corsini and at Poggio Imperiale. It was an ad-mirable rule of the old Italian architects, where thegarden-space was small and where the site permitted, to build their villas facing the road, so that the full ex-tent of the grounds was secured to the private use ofthe inmates, instead of being laid open by a public ap-proach to the house. This rule is still followed byFrench villa-architects, and it is exceptional in Franceto see a villa entered from its grounds when it may beapproached directly from the highroad. Behind Castello the ground rises in terraces, enclosedin lateral walls, to a high retaining-wall at the back, surmounted by a wood of ilexes which contains a poolwith an island. Montaigne, who describes but fewgardens in his Italian diary, mentions that the terrace
