The famous Giardino Giusti is one of the oldest gardens in Italy. Created at the end of the 15th century, it contains all the features of a typical Renaissance garden: geometrical layout of flowerbeds and hedgerows, fountains, grottos, mask, mythological statues, avenues of cypresses and also a maze.

Cosimo de’ Medici, Mozart, Goethe, kings and emperors have all visited this garden, which for four centuries has been one of the most beautiful and well-visited in the whole of the Veneto and which has rightly been declared a National Monument.

Palazzo e Giardino Giusti - Views over garden and palace

The garden, designed by Agostino Giusti as a setting for the Palazzo which bears his name, is made up of three sections: a lawn, a wooded hill with a ravine and cliff and landscaped terraces with a belvedere; the Giusti family, coming from Florence, probably wanted to reproduce the beautiful renaissance gardens that were in fashion at that time.
