Gardens of Villa Garzoni in Collodi

The Gardens of Villa Garzoni in Collodi are a remarkable example of Italian Baroque landscaping. Designed in the 17th century, the gardens feature a formal layout of fountains, staircases and sculpted hedges laid out on terraced slopes that descend toward the village. Pathways wind through geometric flowerbeds, grottoes, and loggias, offering framed views of both the villa and the surrounding Tuscan hills. The gardens reflect the period’s emphasis on symmetry, perspective, and the interplay between architecture and nature.
