Castelli, Pietro (1590-1656)

Exactissima descriptio rariorum quarundam plantarum quae
continentur Rome in Horto Farnesiano: Tobia Aldini Cesenate
auctore. Romae, typis J. Mascardi, 1625. 100 p.  F°.
(Dept. Agr.; Arn. Arb.; Greene; Bib. Nat. Paris)

Mentioned by Gibault, Étude (1905), p. 716, as
"Hortus Farnesianus". Altho the name of Aldini or
Aldinus is given in the title as author, he was
actually the curator or director of the garden,
and the book is generally credited to Castelli.
This was the garden of Cardinal Odoardo Farnese,
in which many exotics were grown for the first
time in Europe. (MFW)

"The 15 copperplates comprise a general plan,
and plans in detail for each of the fourteen gardens, 
each of which is dedicated to an apostle or
a saint. They comprise some of the earliest examples 
of carpet bedding". Cf. Wheldon & Wesley,
Illus. Cat. (n.s.) 6 (1923 ) no.21.
