The Durazzo Pallavicini Park in Pegli, constructed between 1840 and 1846 under the guidance of architect Michele Canzio and commissioned by Marquis Ignazio Alessandro Pallavicini, stands out as a remarkable example of romantic historical gardens in both Italy and Europe.
This 8-hectare garden is uniquely designed as a theatrical narrative infused with esoteric and Masonic elements, transforming a visit into a rich historical and cultural experience that also embraces landscape, botany, and philosophical reflection.
The journey through the park unfolds like a play, featuring a prologue, background, and three acts, each containing four scenes. Visitors will encounter enchanting lakes, flowing streams, cascading waterfalls, charming garden structures, exquisite furnishings, rare plant species, captivating views, and artistic illusions that seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape, creating an almost limitless sense of wonder in this enchanting setting.
