Renaissance Garden Italian

The high walls, arched trellises and square beds of Medieval gardens also became a feature. Romulus and Remus, the babies who were suckled by a wolf and became the legendary founders of Rome were a popular subject. Two major sources influenced the development of the Italian Renaissance Garden. Arab garden traditions and ancient Greek and Roman traditions, especially the sculptures which were copied and placed in the gardens.
The central axis in the design became popular. Renaissance studies sought geometric patterns in nature, and symmetry, circles and triangles became a regular pattern in gardens. These forms have been the basis of the design of the garden in Hamilton.
