Giardino Giusti
Giardino Giusti is a Renaissance garden laid out in the 16th century by the Giusti family, considered one of the best-preserved formal Italian gardens still in its original design, with clipped hedges, statuary, and a distinctive cypress-lined avenue leading up a hillside behind the villa. It has influenced garden design across Europe since its creation.
The garden climbs a steep hill at its rear, culminating in a grotto and a stone mask carved into the rock face, along with terraces offering views back over Verona's rooftops.
It's a relatively quiet, less crowded stop compared to Verona's central sights, appealing particularly to visitors interested in historic garden design or looking for a green break from the city's stone streets and squares.
