Villa Cimbrone, The Rose Terrace by Michael Karavanov

September 2008, Italy, Campania, Costiera Amalfitana, tremendous Villa Cimbrone, central garden Rose Terrace, 360 panorama.

"A covered stairway with blue wisteria growing on pergolas leads us onto the Rose Terrace. Here, within an arabesque balustrade, mindful of an old and absolutely English badminton court, in geometric flowerbeds, from May to October, ancient varieties of beautiful, scented French and English roses flower. In the middle stands a light stone meridian, on the outer edges, four ornamental statues: Flora, goddess of Flowers and Spring, Leda with Swan, and two wrestlers, Damosseno and Greucante."
