DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luchino Visconti Italy

His films frequently feature Italian villas and formal gardens as central settings that reflect aristocratic decay and beauty, particularly in 'The Leopard' and 'Death in Venice'.

 Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

He uses modernist Italian landscapes and manicured spaces to explore alienation and emptiness, with gardens serving as symbols of sterile contemporary life in films like 'L'Avventura'.
