Giardini Pubblici

Gardens Ravenna, Italy

The Public Gardens of Ravenna (approximately 37,500 m2), formerly home to the city's hippodrome and velodrome, were built in the early 1930s based on a project by the architect Arata and represent the first urban park in Ravenna. The shape of the park resumes, especially in the central parterre, the characteristics of the Italian garden; over time, unfortunately, the structure of the gravel paths, the lawn squares and the hedges, which until the early 1970s constituted its decoration, has been lost.
