The Sistema delle Rampe del Poggi is a restored 19th-century gem that was once left to crumble like a forgotten fairytale castle. Originally designed by architect Giuseppe Poggi as a grandiose hillside complex of grottoes, fountains, and ornamental stonework, the landmark has been painstakingly brought back to life with a touch of modern magic. Thanks to a dedicated team of experts and a hefty donation, this romantic ruin now dazzles visitors with its fantastical rock formations, lush flora, and a hydraulic water system that would make even the Renaissance masters proud. It's a true Cinderella story for a Florentine treasure that's finally getting its happily ever after <3
