A stroll through the Park and Garden of Miradolo Castle, a splendid example of a landscaped garden, home to over 6 hectares of prized botanical species and centuries-old, monumental trees. A journey, accompanied by the warmth of mulled wine or hot chocolate, through nature and history: from the 17th-century origins of the ''cassina'' to its transformation into a neo-Gothic residence with towers and period decorations, from a place dedicated to agriculture to a romantic garden designed by the greatest landscape architect of the era.

MYSTERY AT THE CASTLE: THE MIRADOLO ENIGMA
Escape Game
On the most enigmatic night of the year, the ancient halls of Miradolo Castle open up to a shared game, exploring mysteries, clues, mourning, and ancient documents. It was in this castle, at the dawn of the twentieth century, that a major industrial project began that transformed the history of Italy. But Countess Sofia is afraid; the Count is dead.
A mystery of missing letters, forgotten paintings, and padlocks to be opened to rediscover part of a history that risks being lost.

nature-themed selection we'll be making available, to enjoy silence, words, and ancient trees.

A mailbox awaits you, along with a moment of reflection and exchange about new and old words from your world, ''overused'' words, unfamiliar words, scary words, and beautiful words. Words, words, words...

Choose a corner of the lawn next to the Castle Garden to enjoy stories and words, savoring a delicious picnic.
