| Titolo: | Galileo in giardino / Claudio Pizzorusso. |
| Abstract: | As an avid reader of Ariosto and Tasso, Galileo vehemently criticized the latter in the Considerazioni, long familiar to art historians through the work of Erwin Panofsky. His violent intolerance towards Gerusalemme Liberata is expressed most forcefully in response to an example of 'modified' reality: the palace and the garden of Armida. It is apparent that Galileo differed from Tasso not only in his notion of poetry, but also in that of gardens. In a simple reference note he contrasts Armida's garden with Logistilla's citadel, conjured by Ariosto as a magical image of a golden age. Galileo could see the contrast between these two literary models reflected in two real-life gardens close to Florence, those of Pratolino and Castello. The Considerazioni therefore served to map the course of sixteenth-century Florentine gardens, of which Castello and Pratolino represented two different conceptual poles, as deeply divergent as the thoughts of Cosimo I and Francesco I, who commissioned the gardens, and that of Niccolò Tribolo and Bernardo Buontalenti, who realized them. |
