Giardino Bortolotti detto dei Ciucioi
Vicolo dei Ciucioi, 1 - 38015 LAVIS (TN)
- Provincia di Trento
- Trentino-Alto Adige
The unique creation of a singular character, the Bortolotti Garden known as dei Ciucioi - (name crippled from the German name Zum Zoll = at customs) - exemplifies the peculiarity of the architecture of greenery in the Alpine context. The complex bears the name of its creator, Tommaso Bortolotti (Lavis, 1796-1872), who dedicated every resource to the realization of his visionary project articulated in a mysterious initiatory path that goes up seven levels of terraces, characterized by surprising constructive artifices functional to the cultivation of citrus fruits and Mediterranean plants. After the death of the owner, the architecture remained substantially intact until the first decades of the twentieth century, while the original vegetation began a progressive decline; during the century, the garden, subject to many changes of ownership, lost its formal characteristics, with the advance of the weeding vegetation, widespread collapses of the side terraces and the leaching of the lime
