Giardino Giusti

This lush sculpted garden is named after the noble family that has looked after it and the mansion since opening the garden to visitors in 1591, and it’s lost none of its charm over the centuries: the vegetation is an Italianate mix of the sculpted and natural, graced by soaring cypresses, one of which the German poet Goethe immortalised in his travel writings. According to local legend, lovers who manage to find each other in the little labyrinth at the right of the garden are destined to stay together. On the far end of the garden, a short climb is rewarded with romantic, sweeping views over the city.
