The gardens of Ninfa are an enchanted oasis about an hour outside of Rome. They portray a botanical treasure that remains pure and uncontaminated despite our modern age. This garden is the connection to a time long gone, full of myths and dreams. Pietromarchi's botanical knowledge is coupled with Angelli's photography and Carcciolo's narration to complete the picture of this garden, regarded as the most romantic European garden in a town several millenniums gone.
