Ti racconto il giardino is a special guided tour dedicated to the garden of Villa del Balbianello-Bene FAI (Tremezzina, CO), restored by Guido Monzino to its original splendor in the mid-seventies thanks to the collaboration with the landscape designer Emilio Trabella (1948-2019).
On Sunday 30 March, 13 April, 4 May, 1 June and 21 September, expert guides from the Cooperativa Il Gelso del Làvedo will take you on a discovery of the tree species and topiary art in Balbianello: a unique opportunity to learn the secrets of the artfully modeled plants in the park, such as the large holm oak pruned ''umbrella-like'' by tree-climber gardeners or the ficus repens that wraps around the columns of the Loggia Durini. At the end of the visit to the park, the interior of the villa will also be visited.
Please show up at the ticket office approximately 30 minutes before the tour, which will be in Italian only.
