Pietro Porcinai (1910–1986)

The master of Italian garden design.
Pietro Porcinai was one of the most important Italian landscape architects of the 20th century. His works, marked by a deep understanding of nature and a refined aesthetic sensibility, are still regarded today as benchmarks in the field of contemporary garden design.
Porcinai offered an original interpretation of the Italian garden tradition, blending it with the needs and tastes of his time. “His creations are defined by great simplicity and strict compositional discipline, yet they never lack a touch of poetry and romanticism.
