SCHEME
A unique feature of this garden, which is spread over 8 hectares of hillside, is that it is structured on
a theatrical tale with esoteric-Masonic overtones that make the visit a historical-cultural, landscape-botanical but also meditative-philosophical experience.
The tour itinerary is divided into prologue, antecedent, three acts, each consisting of four scenes characterized by lakes, streams, waterfalls, garden edifices, furnishings, rare plants, visual glimpses and scenographic deceptions capable of appropriating the external panorama and dilating the confines of this "magical" place almost to the infinite and final exodus.
