2014 - GiardinoTorrigiani

I took a short walk along the side of a private garden, the GiardinoTorrigiani. A map of my walk is below. I did not have a specific destination; I was just out exploring.

The Torrigiani garden is the largest privately owned garden in Europe, situated within city boundaries. More information about the history of this garden is available at: Giardino Torrigiani

I was drawn to these massive structures! On the right is a reminder of what it was like to live within a walled city. (Easily 6 feet wide!)

On the left, what's left of an ancient fortification.

A private spot in the garden.

Once past the garden, I entered into Piazza della Calza.

This building still has the remains of an earlier fresco.

Exiting, I caught a glimpse of this statue. The tulips are doing well.

Further on, I came upon a dog park.

Respect the Garden and the Nature. Also, keep your dog on a leash and pick up the poop!

This is next to the Boboli Gardens and an Institute of Art. The Boboli Gardens are part of the Pitti Palace complex, which I visited a few days later.

Some of the sights and sounds of my return... (Sorry that the camera is a bit too close to the wall.)

Ciao tutti!
