Message from Francesco Meola

Giardini della Guastalla is the oldest park in Milan, dating back to 1555 when it was created by a young widow Countess Guastalla for destitute noble girls as a private sanctuary. It features a beautiful baroque fish pool alongside rare and well-tended flora, with statuary and neoclassical architecture that give it a peaceful atmosphere. There’s also a play area and bocce court for those looking to have some fun. Here, visitors can take a stroll and appreciate the grandeur and beauty of the park, which has stood the test of time.
