Coronini Cronberg Park
The complex was designed by Count Alfredo Coronini (1846-1920) who, around 1880, decided to transform and expand the original square-plan Italian garden located next to his palace.
Taking advantage of the uneven terrain, he designed a romantic park, extending across varying levels, where the various natural and artificial elements combine to create a succession of evocative glimpses and picturesque vistas. Sculptures, stairways, terraces, pergolas, fountains, and ponds suddenly emerge from evergreen groves, cleverly placed to offer a series of ever-changing and surprising paths.
Among the artefacts, noteworthy are the statue of Giovanni Battista Coronini sculpted in the 18th century by Marco Chiereghin, a triform Hecate from the 2nd century AD, several statues of mythological subjects by the Vicenza-born sculptor Orazio Marinali and the circular temple designed in 1913 by the architect Girolamo Luzzatto.
The vegetation consists almost exclusively of evergreen tree and shrub species that are typically Mediterranean and in any case native to warm climates, including a cork oak, Japanese medlar, bamboo, and a Ginkgo Biloba.
