Verzura

Verzura is an Italian word that translates to "verdure" or "greenery" in English. It refers generally to the use of plants, foliage, and other green elements in decorative arts, architecture, and garden design. It can encompass the depiction of realistic or stylized foliage in frescoes, tapestries, and other art forms. In garden design, verzura often indicates the incorporation of lush, green plantings to create visually appealing and tranquil spaces. The term implies a focus on the verdant aspects of nature, often prioritizing the aesthetic appeal of greenery over flowering plants or elaborate structures. It can also, more broadly, refer to the practice of incorporating live plants into interior design.
