The art of gardens in Tuscany
The gardens and parks in Tuscany are as unique as they are beautiful. During the Renaissance period wealthy traders, bankers and politicians such as the Strozzis, Medicis, Buonvisis or Chigis had their farm properties beautifully embellished with magnificent gardens. The Boboli Gardens of Florence are definitely the most significant example. In the course of time, gardens change, are transformed and adapted to modern times and still they represent wonderful places where art and nature merge. We propose enchanting trails through northern and southern Tuscany to discover these remarkable and delightful gardens.
