The inside story
Parco Giardino Sigurtà is one of the most famous parks in the world, it dates back to the XVIII century. The garden park Sigurtà is a mix of history and nature: a charming destination of incredible beauties in the North of Italy. It's ideal for one day trips or for tour stop. Every years the park is visited by more than 300.000 people.
It started off as the "walled'brolo'" (1617), the gardens of Villa Maffei (by Pellesina, a pupil of Palladio), a villa that in 1859 was the headquarters of Napoleone III. Over forty years of loving care, Carlo Sigurtà took advantage of the water-drawing rights from the river Mincio to achieve the "prodigious" feat of turning an arid hill into a flourishing green garden. Subsequently, his grandson Enzo established the essential features of the Park-Garden.
