The Venetian garden in the Napoleonic era: Freemasonic backgrounds and esoteric implications
16 April 2024
Hosted by Barbara Mazza Boccazzi.
The fifth event of the lecture series sponsored by the "Manlio Cecovini Study Society" is scheduled for Tuesday, April 16, 2024 at 6 p.m. at the Antico Caffè San Marco in Trieste.
Hosted by Barbara Mazza Boccazzi, it will delve into the Freemasonic backgrounds and esoteric implications of the Venetian garden in the Napoleonic era.
Between 1770 and 1780 the taste for the English or picturesque park, which could also be declined as fictional and magical, began to spread in the Veneto and beyond. The figure of the architect-gardener was born. Giuseppe Jappelli, Venetian by birth and Paduan by adoption, was one of the most significant exponents of this new trend. The two parks that most represent this theme, celebrated in the treatises of the time, will be examined: the Querini garden in Altichiero (Padua) and the Cittadella Vigodarzere garden, now Valmarana, in Saonara (Padua).
