Sítio Roberto Burle Marx, a 40-hectare garden designed by renowned landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx in 1949, stands as a testament to the fusion of scientific and artistic innovation. However, current management practices have led to its deterioration, rendering it an 'intact ruin.' Giulio G. Rizzo's book, published in 2009, provides a comprehensive account of the garden's inception, development phases, and Burle Marx's visionary approach. Through meticulous documentation, Rizzo highlights the garden's scientific and artistic components, underscoring its significance as both a cultural landmark and an ecological model. The study critiques the present-day neglect, advocating for preservation efforts that align with Burle Marx's original intent.
