And with these we are at 147: in 2022 in fact Great Italian Gardens Five new gardens join the network, from Liguria to Sicily, passing through Lombardy, Lazio and Veneto. Born in 1997 to enhance and promote green tourism, Grandi Giardini has created over the years one network of places of excellence, all different from each other (for example there are still private places and others state-owned, Italian and English gardens) but united by the respect of the same qualitative standards in botanical, artistic and historical terms and by the fact that they are all open to the public, albeit in different ways. Places that, as in the past, want to go back to being “of delight and culture” as he points out Judith Wade, CEO of Grandi Giardiniwho adds “I like to think of Grandi Giardini Italiani as a factory of creativity spread throughout the Italian territory, where thousands of people are engaged throughout the year in enhancing the great beauty of buildings, parks and estates and in providing added value. to those who visit them ”In short, entering one of the gardens that are part of the network, in addition to the approaching spring, is always a guarantee of beauty and hospitality.
Grandi Giardini: here are the new entries in the network
But what are the new entries in this 2022? We start from Liguria, with villa Rezzola in Lerici, documented since the eighteenth century with its terraced garden, smelling of roses and wisteria, which looks towards the sea of the Gulf of Poets; in Lombardy, on the other hand, it is very modern BAM-Biblioteca degli Alberi Milanthe garden born from the redevelopment of the Porta Nuova area which today has over 100 plant species and more than 500 trees, as well as 135 thousand herbaceous plants of all kinds, an extraordinary example of biodiversity and an exemplary model of urban green with a modern conception.
The historic gardens
On the other hand, the villa of Montruglio Pigafetta-Camerini near Vicenza: it is one of the most interesting historical gardens in the whole of Veneto, which can also boast the presence of a ten-hectare vineyard that produces fine wines every year. Dated to the seventeenth century is also the Bell’Aspetto villa in Nettuno, built in 1647 and purchased a couple of centuries later by Camillo Borghese and Paolina Bonaparte, who nevertheless left the garden practically unchanged, now cared for by the famous landscape architect Paolo Pejrone.
Gardens born from a dream
The last garden to enter the network is that of the “impossible”: we are a Favignana, where over the years a garden has been created around the villa by the Campo family where no one would have ever thought of finding a blade of grass, between white tuff quarries and a barren and stony ground. This garden really proves that no dream is impossible… At least for the green thumbs.
