<p>Historical gardens and parks are living and breathing landmarks that exalt the natural beauty of the grand villas and period stately manors that are dotted all around our peninsula. Every park has its own unique character and history: there are Italian-style gardens that trace elegant geometric patterns, romantic English landscaped parks rich in flora and fauna, ancient kitchen gardens abounding in fruit trees and even parks peppered with sculptures and works of art that are real open-air museums.</p>
