The Italian Gardens consist of four main basins with central rosettes, all elaborately carved in Carrara marble, and the famous Portland stone and white marble Tazza Fountain. These are surrounded by intricately carved stone statues and urns. The urns have five main designs - the Swan's breast, woman's head, ram's head, dolphin and oval.
It is situated at the head of The Long Water - the river which flows through Kensington Gardens into Hyde Park where it becomes The Serpentine. It is Grade II listed by English Heritage as a site of particular importance.
There have been a number of renovations during the years to ensure the Italian Gardens maintain their original splendour. The most recent renovations were in 1991 and 2011. In 1991 one of each of the vases was re-carved by a stone mason working for English Heritage.
Normal printing difficulty. Supports are needed, but don't use too many in order not to break off the detailed design when removing it.
