Overview of Italian Garden

There's two kinds of key overall layout aspects. One is just the fact that there are three areas. So there's the outside bosco area beyond the garden in the forest, the untamed wilderness from which only the beasts live, and humans came from there but we don't live there anymore. The second area is the orchards, the prater with its fruit trees and grapevines, and then the third one is the bottom part, which is the formal part of the garden.

Cicero talks about the fear of nature. There is the first nature, which is the untamed wilderness. The second nature, which is the farming, and then the third nature which is the garden. Third nature is nature plus art; whereas farming and gardening for food is nature plus science or functional behaviour.
