Parco di Villa Durazzo-Pallavicini, Genova Pegli

Liguria

Designed by Michele Canzio as a stage set in three acts, this garden winds visitors past a Gothic ruin, a Turkish kiosk, a coffee house and a dark tunnel to a sudden reveal of a lake with a classical temple. An adjacent botanical garden and camellia collection complete the visit, all a few minutes from Pegli station.
