urban country

the terrace has a restrained style, and its theme
is a mediterranean kitchen garden. to this end, vines of
table grapes have been used to screen the courtyard,
mixed with climbing roses. the calculated simplicity is
achieved by using specially made containers, made by
specialized craftsmen in antiqued zinc, oxidised copper,
alluminium, black rubber. because of their oversize
dimensions, it has been possible to cultivate a large
number of species, and create an unusual mix of flowers,
fruit, vegetables and aromatic herbs. the dinner table is
shaded by canework, accentuating the rustic atmosphere,
and in the evening it transforms into a ceiling of
dancing lights.
