90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
Wow, this makes one hope to get to Italy someday. What beautiful gardens.
Adequate, but a bit disappointing. I expected a "wow" effect because a lot of Italian gardens are spectular, but the presentation was a bit dry.
His knowledge of the gardens is just fine but his ability to present and engage is a bit rough. He alternates between talking perfectly clearly to a rather garbled sotto voce and his pronunciation of the Italian words was almost excruciating. I recommend he learn to pronounce the Italian words properly that he is going to use in the talk, and try to maintain a clear presenting voice throughout.
