Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli, Urban park and Italian national heritage in Porta Venezia district, Milan, Italy.
Description
Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli is a 17-hectare park in the Porta Venezia district of Milan, Italy. Paths wind between tree clusters and lawns, passing small lakes and an artificial hill.
History
Giuseppe Piermarini designed the park from 1784 onward on former Dugnani family land, following French landscaping principles. Journalist Indro Montanelli survived an attack here in 1977, leading to the park's renaming in his honor in 2002.
Culture
Locals often still refer to the gardens as "Giardini di Porta Venezia," even after the official renaming. Families gather here on weekends while joggers and readers use the shaded benches throughout the week.
Practical
The park opens at 6:30 AM and closes between 9 PM in winter and 11:30 PM in summer, depending on the season. Several entrances make it easy to reach from different streets.
Did you know?
A statue marks the spot where Montanelli survived a Red Brigades attack in 1977. The Natural History Museum inside the park displays collections dating back to the 18th century.
