Numbering around 300 thousand in total, between 3 and 15 metres in height, and belonging to many species. A path in which to venture and get lost, to fantasize and reflect. Evocative arcades of bamboo frame the labyrinth’s pathways, offering visitors refuge and giving the sensation of finding oneself immersed in another dimension. Surprising views are afforded by stalks of different sizes, that are variously spotted, striped or of unusual colouration.

Francesco Hayez (1791-1882) 1829, Oil on canvas
An excellent example of the portraiture of one of the most celebrated and gifted artists of Italian Romanticism, this painting portrays a lady of Milanese high society in 1829, Francesca Majnoni, the widow of Stefano Bernardo Majnoni d’Intignano who had died three years earlier. Her husband had been director general of the Kingdom of Italy’s monopolies, court councillor and director of the tobacco factory for Emperor Franz I of Austria, who had conferred Austrian nobility on him in 1819, allowing d’Intignano to be added to his name.
