Boboli • Belvedere

Italian gardens generally are renowned as entirely different from those of Northern Europe.  Austere, formal and comprising as much gravel and sculpture as any living plants.  Despite this, they often provide a relaxing respite from the chaos of the tourist thronged palaces and museums.  Those of Florence are no exception.  There is something quite delightful wandering about in the intense summer heat beating down of the privet and other hedges, raising nostalgia-inducing scents as you pass by.
