The Signora’s Garden

GUILLAUME SERVEL

“The Signora’s Garden” celebrates the concept of soil in the Sicilian environment. In this island territory Mount Etna is a strong marker of the landscape. Visible from every street, every house, every terrace, the burnt land reminds everyone of the versatility of the volcano that dominates them.

Project Team

Guillaume Servel is a French landscape painter. He currently works for Atelier Hervé Meyer, on the French coast, specialized in designing and developing gardens for villas, palaces, hotels and above all landscaping for public spaces. He considers Radicepura Garden Festival an important opportunity to share and show to people from all over the world the process involved in a landscape project.

Concept giardino della signora

01  

Concept

The Garden describes a form of ephemeral brutality by the darkness and incandescence of the matter that it releases, slipping into the woods, obstructing the roads and imposing a new confrontation with nature: in Sicily, the Signora (Mount Etna) redesigns the territories in an unpredictable and perpetual way. However, behind this brutality the volcano fascinates. From this soil it produces new forms, offering this sublime landscape of a rebirthing Nature that adapts to constraint and brings to light some improbable resilient capacities. The Signora designs this vast garden where the blackness of the land contrasts with the colour of the vegetation.

It becomes the productive garden of the imagination, an emotion that every hiker embodies during the ascension, motivated by the curiosity to discover the surfacing centre of this disturbing and nourishing matter. It offers man the richness of a productive soil where olives, citrus fruits, pistachios and palm trees find all the necessary resources for their development, thus forming this agricultural landscape. The reduced scale of “The Signora’s Garden” is the occasion of an improbable juxtaposition of two gardens: the one offered by Nature with organic and inspiring forms and the one shaped and structured by the hand of man. Two different expressions of the productive garden with only one point in common: the soil.
