"Before the final overthrow of the Picturesque in the twentieth century, English Romantics looked once more to Italy, perceiving in its decayed villa gardens a certain kind of landscape poetry. Perhaps the most Romantic analysis of Italian villa gardens was by the early-twentieth-century English aesthete Sir George Sitwell (1860-1943), who devoted an entire chapter to its analysis in On the Making of Gardens" (Rogers, et al, Romantic Gardens, p. 30).
