Ice house entrance in the garden of Palazzo Rizzo Patarol
This is part of the largest private garden in Venice measuring approximate 2,000m2. The impressive garden was in first created by Lorenzo Patarol. He documented his knowledge in a herbarium which is now owned by the Museum of Natural History. It lists more than 1,200 species of flowers and insects. Patarol planted flowers which thrive in the salt water of the Venetian lagoon such as pure white roses and rare lilies. Unfortunately, mid 19th century, the new owner Giovanni Correr destroyed most of the trees to transform it into a Romantic garden. In 2001 the Wigwam association started a project to reconstruct the garden in its original state.The garden is now part of the Grand Hotel dei Dogi.
