The park is not only a recreational oasis in the middle of the city, but also a small botanical jewel. A diverse range of typically subtropical vegetation flourishes here.
The history of the park is closely linked to that of the villa. Before it became the property of the Saroli, it was known as Villa Enderlin. The Enderlin family had it built in 1904 by the architect Giuseppe Pagani. The original Renaissance building is richly decorated inside (Art Nouveau and “arts & crafts”), while the outside appearance is characterized by a corner tower with an unusual roof shape and a terrace with wrought iron Art Nouveau railings. On the north side of the villa is the remarkable orangery with generously arched windows and an open south façade, which is overgrown with evergreen jasmine.
The park has beautiful century-old trees, such as an evergreen magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), a bluish Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica glauca), a gingko biloba, a liquidambar and other valuable conifers. There is also a rare specimen of California laurel and a group of shrubs made up of old varieties of camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas and dogwoods.
