SILVA, Hercules. Of the art of English gardens. Milan, Stamperia e fonderia al genio tipografico, [1801]. 4to, 285 x 225 mm. Rear binding in half calf with corners and gilt title to spine. Pp. [8], 373, [3]. Copper-engraved vignette on title page. 6 fold-out plates, 30 illustrations in the text, partially full-page, engraved by Gaetano Riboldi to a design by Giuseppe Levati, depicting among other things the Villa Silva in Cinisello, the Villa Cusani in Desio, the pond of the Villa Reale in Monza, and the gardens of the Belgioioso Castle. Slight browning, restoration to lower margin of eyelet. Good copy. First illustrated edition printed on strong paper. Reference work on the Romantic garden. Cicognara: "...with 36 copper plates. The best work in this genre that Italy has." Schlosser: "The most important Italian work on the subject." This fundamental work on the English garden laid the foundation for the formation of numerous private and public landscape gardens in nineteenth-century Italy. Count Ercole Silva, himself a landscape architect, designed and took as an example the garden of his own villa in Cinisello, near Milan; he also endowed his text with valuable engraved plates and illustrations representing some other Lombard villas. Paliaga and Valeriani note that the work was instrumental in the spread of the art of the ''landscape garden'' in Italy and of English gardens, a "particular form of 'landscaping' that included a series of architectural complements (small temples, turrets, false ruins, coffee - houses and more)." A few years after its publication, this work inspired a passage from Ugo Foscolo's Sepolcri, in verses 130-132.Cicognara 960; Schlosser 684. Cf.
