Abstract
The castle of Miramare, in Trieste, Italy, was created starting from 1856 by the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian Habsburg (1832-1867). The Adriatic Trieste, was, culturally speaking, part of that Germanic Koine that had found its architectural international language following the new vocabulary created by Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841). Schinkel’s aesthetics culminated in the ensemble of parks and castles in Potsdam, where he worked closely together with the landscape gardener Peter Joseph Lenné (1789-1866) from the beginning of the nineteenth century. A model followed in designing the compositional forms of Miramare. By bringing out the ways in which the castle and park of Miramare reflected the classicism permeating Schinkel and Lenné’s work in Potsdam, this essay focuses on the relation between Miramare and the gardening taste in the European culture of the period.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
