Talk:Villa Borghese gardens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is the Villa Borghese also known as the Borghese Gardens in Rome? I was wanting to make sure that I had a correct link from the article on Randoll_Coate who designed a Millennium maze for the Borghese Gardens. -- Solipsist 16:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Villa Borghese invariably refers to the gardens as well as the structure. Wikipedia's "Villa Borghese gardens" is a recently-introduced solipsism that would have been avoidable by asking anyone who'd been in Rome: an Italian villa includes its gardens, fountains, casine, ninfei... (Yes Boboli Gardens are an exception: they are urban gardens attached to a palazzo.) Entering "Villa Borghese" at Wikipedia and finding a "disambiguation" doesn't serve the reader. The fact that "Villa Borghese" would apply to any villa belonging to a member of the Borghese goes without saying: the village is often appended when there is possible confusion: Villla Medici for examples. --Wetman 10:26, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edouard Andre contribution?

Has anybody relevant information about Édouard André's role in designing these gardens? Iulius 16:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
