Abstract
The object of the study is Villa Gamberaia in Settignano. This Italian Renaissance villa was created during the 16th century, but its spatial structure differs from its contemporary compositions. In this work, the method of the compositional analysis is used. A complex of compositional techniques characteristic of the early Renaissance gardens has been revealed. These gardens were a vivid illustration of the worldview of humanism, which proclaimed nature as a beautiful, and man as a part of it and a supernatural being. In the garden space, this was achieved by such techniques as terraces organization along the horizontal contours of the relief, which provided a panoramic opening of the garden space to the surrounding landscape; parterre composition of terraces, within which people dominated; contrast of near and far plans. These features are revealed in the construction of the Villa Gamberaia space, which allows us to attribute its composition to the best examples of the early Renaissance.
