Villa Silvio Pellico, Sketch Plan of Garden RP/1/10/27/1

A dyeline design dated November 1957 (scale 1/100). A more detailed drawing than either RP/1/10/27/5 and RP/1/10/27/6, the plan has been significantly revised. There are now three separate garden areas on the north-south axis, each on a slightly different level. The varying levels are echoed along the east-west axis. The design for the staircase has also been altered to include both an angled and circular section.

A classical garden arranged across a variety of levels, Page’s design for Villa Silvio Pellico, an 18th-century villa close to Turin in northern Italy, demonstrates his remarkable ability to perfect his design according to the site.
