The Gardens of the Villa d'Este
Catherine Bott travels to Tivoli to explore the fountains in the gardens of Cardinal Ippolito II's Villa d'Este and the music written to honour him.
The Villa d'Este's gardens are a triumph of Baroque architecture and design. Catherine Bott travels to Tivoli to explore the many fountains there and the music connected with the gardens and the man who commissioned them: Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este, patron of many composers, among them a no lesser figure than Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.
First broadcast in March 2009.
