Talk - Italian Influences on the English Garden - 2 August 2024

Explore the garden at your leisure then relax on the terrace of this unique lost garden with a glass of Prosecco for our series of expert talks about the history of gardens and gardening.

Charlie Hall takes us on a tour through time and space, showing how the features and designs of Hadrian’s Villa, in Tivoli, built in c. 150 AD, and the Baroque Villa Farnese, in Caprarola, became outrageously popular in eighteenth-century England and shaped English garden design forever.

Charlie is Director of the John Hall Venice Course. He leads tours in Italy for Kirker Holidays and has designed courses for The Serpentine Collectors’ Circle and Christie’s Education. When not in Italy he hosts monthly art events for the Soho House group of members clubs and lectures for The Arts Society.
