Studio Bellesi Giuntoli, is a landscape architecture and garden design studio founded by Silvia Bellesi and Alberto Giuntoli. Our multidisciplinary team is comprised of different professionals who are able to answer all aesthetic, functional and ecological requests of private and public clients.
The thousands gardens and parks which characteristically distinguish Italy’s history are the basis of our vision that interprets them in an international and contemporary key.
Each project is characterized by its uniqueness, which is guaranteed by the in-depth knowledge of the technical and aesthetic tools needed to complete a landscape design.
An overall landscape vision and an accurate preliminary analysis allows us to embrace the 'spirit of the place' and helps us find the inspiration needed to realize the project in its totality and originality.
The attention to details and the selection of project’s focal points allow us to enhance, the location’s structure and its three-dimensionality. In fact, ours is a 4D design that integrates transition of time (days, seasons and years) with the three dimensions of space.
Taking care of every single aspect of the project's development and its maintenance even years after realization allows us to guarantee full customer satisfaction.
