On the occasion of the traditional "Appointment in the garden" of the APGI (Italian Parks and Gardens Association) we propose a thematic visit to discover the hidden garden of Villa Carlotta. It is a portion of property rediscovered and enhanced thanks to the protective actions carried out within the PNRR, where the relationship between the action of man and the natural landscape emerges.
We will try to understand how the life of the Villa has played an important role in the relationship between wooded area, agricultural sector and the creation of inhabited settlements. Thanks to the use of historical and recent maps, the exploration will be participatory and engaging for the visitor.

About the location

Museo e Giardino Botanico Villa Carlotta

Via Regina, 2 - 22016 Tremezzina, Loc. Tremezzo, Como

Lombardia

Transformed in the nineteenth century into a precious casket for the collections of Giovan Battista Sommariva, the villa has attracted the praise of Stendhal, Lady Morgan and Flaubert: azaleas, hydrangeas and citrus fruits appear in collections, together with groves of rhododendrons and a spectacular valley of ferns. The spring of Villa Carlotta offers without any doubt an incomparable scenery with the blooms of azaleas and rhododendrons that make it famous all over the world, however the other seasons of the year are a wonder for the alternation of colors and scents.
