🗓🔔 Save the date! - September 13th HOUSES OF THE MONTH - Gardens 1/3 We are officially launching our new virtual project, Houses of the Month! As you may already know, from September to December we will present some of our private historic houses through the broadcasting of short videos. We will address a specific theme each month: Gardens, Local Productions, Restorations and Traces of European history. Next Sunday, we will be glad to introduce you to 📢Villa of the Guevara di Bovino Dukes (Caserta, IT)📢 ADSI - Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane 🏡 The Villa and its garden were built at the end of the 18th century at the behest of the Guevara di Bovino Dukes. In 1781 Ferdinand IV of Bourbon, King of Naples, granted the Duchess Anna Maria Suardo Guevara di Bovino the privilege of a supply of water from the waterfall of the neighboring Reggia di Caserta for the irrigation of her garden. The garden, which covers about two hectares, was initially conceived and designed following geometric patterns, according to the model of the Italian gardens. A few decades later, the original geometric feature was altered with the planting of the camphor tree and the tulip tree, both left grow spontaneously without any pruning. The mix of Italian rigor and English informality was then perpetuated with the planting of the camellias and the acacias. Modern landscape concepts prompted the Duchess to annex the adjacent grove of ancient holm oaks to the ornamental garden, creating a shady and romantic picturesque walk. Of particular botanical interest is the presence in the garden of the Camelia japonica "Atroviolacea", a precious ancient camellia with a beautiful purple color, which is thought to come from the important collection of camellias of the Reggia di Caserta. Be ready to visit and learn more about this jewel of Southern Italy! 💻 The video will be available starting from September 13th, 11.00 a.m., on our Youtube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages. --> We are still accepting participants in the project for the next months. The project is only open to the members of our member associations, while the videos will be available for everyone!
