What do we see when we visit the park of the Castle of Agliè? A natural forest or an artificial composition, expertly designed to emulate a piece of landscape? Between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, from the French garden of Michel Benard to the English park of Xavier Kurten the language muta, favoring a new aesthetic sensibility and a different relationship with nature. Do we still have eyes to see and understand the essence of these "reasoned spaces"?
A special visit to the park is proposed by the Management of the Castle of Agliè as part of the annual initiative "Appuntamento in Giardino" conceived by the Association of Parks and Gardens of Italy, whose 2026 edition is focused on the theme of the view.
Through a guided walk, the view(s) is aimed at reading the park, its aesthetic patterns and its sequence of scenes connected through studied perspectives to the visitor’s more or less conscious gaze. By maturing knowledge, multiplying looks, deciphering complexity, we will see together the invisible through the visible.

The presence of greenery organized around the castle dates back to the first fortified nucleus, but the arrangement of the garden in the current three-level connotation is placed around the middle of the seventeenth century, with partial changes later. About a century later, and at the same time as the third phase of renovation of the castle, the park was set up, already cultivated: the documents return the memory of a geometric Italian park, with parterres, labyrinths, and pavilions. Only from 1839 the park had its current romantic layout through a drastic transformation of the eighteenth-century plant. The garden and the park, which surround the complex on three sides, attest to the process of ennobling operated on the territory by the presence of the castle, around which also rotate the rustic appliances: the mill, the farmhouses Valley, Laundry, Allea or La Mandria, whose aulic façade is framed in the perspective telescope of one of the main avenues of the park.
