THIRD DAY
Thanks to the owners and custodians of Torrigiani Garden, Benedetta and Vanni Torrigiani, the participants enjoyed an extraordinary guided visit to the largest privately owned garden in Europe within city boundaries. Within its 7ha, the Torrigiani Garden is choreographed with hidden meaning: it hosts architectural and botanical riches, including the 22 metres high spiral-shaped tower, old city walls designed by Michelangelo, esoteric symbols of the human journey from the ignorance to knowledge and light, sit alongside greenhouses and limonaie protecting botanical treasures.
