The most beautiful public park in Italy? It is that of Villa Durazzo Pallavicini

Villa Durazzo Pallavicini, the residence with splendid park located in Pegli (outskirts of Genoa), has been awarded the title of Most Beautiful Public Park in Italy. The “Most Beautiful Park in Italy” award is now in its 15th edition and this year it awarded, in the category of public parks, the green space of the Genoese villa, designed and created in 1840 by Michele Canzio for Marquis Ignazio Pallavicini: it is a large, highly scenic park, whose path contains a philosophical and esoteric meaning in line with the ideas of the marquis.

In the category of private parks, however, the park of Villa La Foce in Val d’Orcia in Chianciano Terme won the award. The award ceremony at Villa Durazzo Pallavicini took place yesterday in the presence of the president of the prize, Leandro Mastria, the chairman of the scientific committee that selected the winners, Vincenzo Cazzato, the councilor for culture of the City of Genoa, Elisa Serafini, the councilor for tourism, Paola Bordilli, and the councilor for the environment, Matteo Campora. This is an important recognition for a great artistic and naturalistic treasure, which Finestre Sull’Arte will talk about more extensively in a dedicated feature.
