Monty Dons Italian Gardens S01E01 720p HDTV X264-FTP

In the British fascination with all things Italian, British garden enthusiast Monty Don travels through Italy visiting its gardens, specifically those which most Brits would consider "Italian" in style. He will find that in each of the four regions to which he travels (Rome and environs, Florence and environs, "The South" i.e. Naples and environs, and "The North" largely spanning from Venice to the lake country), the style will be different, developed at different time periods, and developed for different end purposes. He will also find that what is considered Italian in style true to its origins is not really the case, many gardens renovated especially in the early twentieth century working on what was seen which was the result of years if not decades or centuries of neglect.
