DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luchino Visconti Italy

His films extensively feature Italian villas and gardens as essential elements of aristocratic life and aesthetic beauty, particularly in works like 'The Leopard' and 'Death in Venice'.

 Federico Fellini Italy

He used Italian landscapes and garden settings as dreamlike, symbolic spaces that reflect the psychological states of his characters in films like '8½' and 'Amarcord'.

 Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His films transform Italian gardens and natural spaces into meditative environments that explore alienation and human connection, notably in 'L'Avventura' and 'Red Desert'.
