Giardino Giusti
What the experts agree on
Renaissance walled garden where manicured box hedges and soaring cypresses frame marble sculptures, grottos, and fountains in authentic 16th-century splendor that inspired Goethe himself.
“This charming late-Renaissance garden has remained true to the original plan by Agostino Giusti, knight of the Republic of Venice.”
