Giardino del Guasto, Public garden in San Vitale, Bologna, Italy.
Giardino del Guasto features elevated paths made of concrete, a central paved area, and a fountain flowing over a cement surface.
The garden stands on the former site of Palazzo Bentivoglio, which was destroyed in 1507, leaving debris that formed an elevated terrain.
The garden's design, completed in 1975 by architect Gennaro Filippini, incorporated Montessori educational principles by observing children's interactions.
The Association Giardino del Guasto maintains the garden and organizes activities, with two entrance points available for visitors.
Underground chambers from the original palace remain accessible and served as air raid shelters during World War II.
