Parks & Nature
between Via de’ Serragli, Via del Campuccio, and the stretch of wall that runs along the Viale Francesco Petrarca, is the Torrigiani Garden. Properties of the two Torrigiani di Santa Cristina and Torrigiani Malaspina families, 7 hectares of rare beauty make up an extraordinary private park, the largest private garden in Europe within ancient city walls. It’s easy to lose oneself along extraordinarily beautiful paths, among flowers and plants, statues and fountains. But what makes the garden famous is also its botanical garden, extraordinarily rich in tree and plant species from various parts of the world.

The Boboli Gardens
1 Piazza de' PittiArts & Culture
From Ponte alla Carraia, the last throughway to the more beaten paths of central Florence, our steps take us to Lugarno Soderini. Here we come to the first must-see in the Oltrarno: the Bellini Museum. In an elegant 15th-century mansion overlooking the Arno, it belonged to the great antiquarian Luigi Bellini. This real treasure includes works by Donatello, Ghiberti, Canaletto, Della Robbia, Piero di Cosimo and Beato Angelico.

We arrive in Piazza del Cestello. Here is the church of San Frediano in Cestello with its high dome. Inside, the light plaster creates an overwhelming brightness. A secret: listen carefully to the sound coming from the facade and close your eyes. You feel as if you were sailing on the waters of the Arno!
