Giardino della Memoria, Memorial garden in Ciaculli, Italy

Giardino della Memoria is a memorial garden located in the Ciaculli district featuring diverse fruit trees and citrus groves beneath Mount Grifone. The grounds spread across land that once served criminal purposes before being seized and repurposed.

The garden was established in 2005 on land seized in 1993 from a mafia leader, representing a deliberate conversion from criminal territory to public memorial. This transformation embodied the region's efforts to reclaim spaces from organized crime.

The garden creates a space where visitors encounter the names of those who stood against organized crime etched on plaques beneath trees. This living memorial transforms a confiscated property into a place where people pause and reflect.

The garden is not permanently open: it admits visitors only during commemorations, anniversary dates of the killings and school group visits. It has received the President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano on 15 June 2007 and Prime Minister Mario Monti on 23 May 2012, the twentieth anniversary of the Capaci bombing. Time a visit to one of these occasions.

The olive tree for Paolo Borsellino and his five escort agents was first planted on 19 July 2004 beside the mafia victims' monument in Piazza XIII Vittime, then moved into the garden at its inauguration on 5 January 2005.
