A Memorable Countenance
The Boboli Gardens in Florence was impressive, not only for the flora growing there, but the sculptures placed throughout the historic park.
It was opened to the public in 1766. Originally created for the Medici family, it represents one of the first and most important examples of an Italian garden.
The water for the fountains and ability to water the plants came about through an interesting method. As the garden lacks a natural water source, a conduit was built to feed water from the nearby Arno River into an elaborate irrigation system.
