Italian Garden was created at the turn of the 20th
century.
Noland and Baskervill of Richmond designed the Italian Garden, based on the classical style style developed in Italy in the 15th and
16th centuries.
The designs for the Cascade
and the Fountain Court have been patterned after similar features at the Villa
Torlonia near Rome. The Italian Garden’s exquisite stonework is Petersburg granite.
The Garden was completed in 1910.
