Harvard's Villa I Tatti


This week I had the opportunity to accompany Alan to Harvard University's Villa I Tatti, located near Fiesole, for a quick visit.  It was a gorgeous spring day and in addition to the esteemed Berenson library (at which only about 100 fellows per year are accepted to study), the librarian also allowed us to tour part of the grounds.  The primary gardens surrounding their villa were designed by Geoffrey Scott and Cecil Pinsent, the same architects that designed our formal gardens at Villa Le Balze. One can certainly note some similarities!
