Behind theVilla Guiccioli Risorgimento and Resistance Museum building, the top of the hill is nowadays an historical and peaceful park. The grounds contain a total of 536 trees and shrubs including local flora and exotic species; of relevance the majestic presence of the Zelcova (Zelcova carpinifolia), counted among the monumental trees in the province of Vicenza.
Its location and conformation makes this park, with any probability, the most “intimate” and relaxing Vicenza’s city park. Check the photo gallery on www.flickr.com
