About

Laid out in the nineteenth century on the slope below Piazzale Michelangelo, the garden holds a large collection of roses and a small Japanese oasis. Bronze sculptures by Jean-Michel Folon are scattered among the beds. It is free, rarely crowded and a calm stop on the walk up to the Piazzale.

Best time to go: May, when the roses are in full bloom; any clear evening for the view.
