The Torso garden is characterized by the presence of two loggias and an octagonal fountain.

The garden is located near the Palazzo Antonini Mangilli del Torso complex, characterized by a series of mixed, orthogonal and curvy paths that delimit the large stone flower beds and the parterre in the area in front of the noble factory.

The simple building (overlooking today's Piazza Garibaldi), dating from the eighth decade of the sixteenth century, was designed by Daniele Antonini.

In 1746 the residence was purchased by the Mangilli, who possibly reformed the complex during the eighteenth century.

Between the second half of the eighteenth century and the first decade of the nineteenth century, a lodged structure is said to have been built, framing the entire northern edge of the garden, while the central frescoed lodge with "caves" from the later period is still visible.

In 1851, further significant architectural interventions were recorded by Andrea Scala.

In 1924 the palace became the property of the Torso family, who donated it to the municipality of Udine. From 1970 the garden was used as a public green and has recently been restored: the existing formal structure was highlighted and the viewpoints and symmetry of the Baroque garden were highlighted. The large pool with aquatic plants in front of the loggia is intended to enhance the elegant view.

In the space between the Loggia and the Palazzo del Torso there is an underground air raid shelter, found during the renovation work on the Torso Garden, reopened by the Municipality of Udine in memory of the victims of war barbarism.
