Gardens and historical parks
Giardini Margherita
It is the largest and certainly the most popular city park. It was designed by the Piemontese Sambuy to provide Bologna with an ample green and public place as in other Italian and European cities. It was opened in 1879 with the name of “Passeggio Regina Margherita” ( as a tribute to the wife of King Umberto I).
Gardens of the Guasto
This garden has been created in 1974 by Gennaro Filippini. It once belonged to the Bentivoglio family that ruled Bologna until 1506.
Parco della Montagnola
Parco della Montagnola is the oldest park in Bologna.
