Frontone Gardens, Historic garden in Borgo XX Giugno, Perugia, Italy.
Four parallel tree-lined avenues converge into an amphitheater with a central travertine arch designed by Baldassarre Orsini in the 18th century.
The site transformed from an Etruscan necropolis into a military training ground under Braccio Fortebraccio's leadership between 1414 and 1420.
Six stone statues crafted by Livia De Kuzmik represent different arts: painting, poetry, architecture, sculpture, theater, and music throughout the garden.
The garden spans 8,300 square meters and features century-old holm oaks, perennial herbs, and seasonal plants maintained by the Municipality of Perugia.
In the 13th century, the location served as a venue for sassaiola, where citizens engaged in recreational stone-throwing competitions.
