On April 27, 28, and 29, join one of the guided tours scheduled at Villa Arconati-FAR titled “Between Art and Nature.” This is a special opportunity to discover the gardens of Villa Arconati from a fresh perspective, where history, art, and nature intertwine in a fascinating narrative.
For three consecutive afternoons, visitors can take part in a botanical guided tour accompanied by an expert guide and a gardener from the Augusto Rancilio Foundation. An immersive experience designed to highlight not only the park's historical and artistic heritage but also its extraordinary botanical treasures, as told by those who care for them every day.
The tour begins among the historic citrus trees-particularly the lemon trees, cultivated since the 17th century in large, custom-made terracotta pots-and then continues toward the majestic oak that dominates the Teatro di Diana, evoking mythological atmospheres. You will then encounter a rare monumental maple, among the oldest in the garden, and pass through scenic rows of hornbeams shaped by the art of topiary, true living sculptures.
The tour concludes at the pond area, where aquatic plants are the stars of a sophisticated natural phytoremediation system that sustainably feeds the water features of the historic fountains.
A unique experience to see the garden through new eyes, letting yourself be guided through beauty, biodiversity, and human ingenuity.
