Diego Suarez (1888 in Bogotá, Colombia - 14 September 1974 in New York City, New York)〔He was a grandson of the Colombian revolutionist and ''caudillo'' Francisco de Miranda. Biographical details are taken from an interview with Suarez reported in James T. Maher , ''Twilight of Splendor: Chronicles of the Age of American Palaces'' (Boston: Little, Brown) 1975:190-91.〕 was a garden designer known for his work at James Deering's Villa Vizcaya in Miami, Florida.〔Brooke, Steven ''The Gardens of Florida'' 1997 p. 41. "The third member of the team was Diego Suarez, a Colombian-born, Italian-trained landscape architect whom Deering and Chalfin had met during one of their trips abroad. Suarez had shown them villas and gardens in Florence, "〕 He also served as a press attaché and minister counselor for Chile in Washington, D.C. from 1948 until 1952 and counselor to the Colombian delegation to the United Nations.
==Family background==
A son of Roberto Suarez, a Colombian diplomat and historian, and his Italian wife, the former Maria Costa (1870–1949), Suarez and his sisters, Camelia and Lucia, and brother, Roberto, spent their childhood in their mother's native country after the death of their father. Suarez took courses as an architectural designer at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence. There the young man was taken up by Arthur Acton of the well-known English expatriate family, who was engaged in restoring the gardens of the Acton villa outside Florence, Villa La Pietra, where the formal terraced plan had been swept away in the early nineteenth century by the fashion for English landscape gardens in the naturalistic manner. Acton passed to Suarez, who went four or five days a week to the villa, some of the formal Renaissance garden ideals that were being revived in the late nineteenth century by designers such as Achille Duchêne.
Through Acton, whose wife was an American heiress, Suarez was introduced into the Anglo-American community of Florence, where he began to lay out gardens, notably, he remembered years later, one at Villa Schifanoia for Lewis Einstein and another for Charles Loeser, one of the first collectors of Paul Cézanne.
