Historical - artistic notes:
The garden, which already existed in the second half of the sixteenth century, was enlarged by Duke Cesare and renovated by Francesco I, who also had the building attributed to Gaspare Vigarani built.
In 1739 Francesco III declared the gardens public, opening them to the citizens.
With the unification of Italy the area came into possession of the royal house, but seven years later, due to the high maintenance costs, the king returned the garden to the Municipality, which officially reopened it on 19 June 1870.
