Il Giardino della Valle, Public garden in Cernobbio, Italy.

Il Giardino della Valle is a restored garden in Cernobbio featuring over 130 plant species, wooden bridges, ponds, and sculptures situated along the Garrovo stream near Villa d'Este. The space combines natural elements with carefully placed artistic details throughout.

During the 1980s, Ida Lonati Frati transformed an illegal dumping ground into a garden, dedicating eighteen years to its environmental restoration. This transformation marks the shift from decay to renewal at this location.

Locals once called the valley Valle dei Rovi, the bramble valley, before Ida Lonati Frati, known as Nonna Pupa, turned it into a garden. A bookcrossing shelf now stands among the paths, and every spring the garden hosts art exhibitions and concerts that help pay for its upkeep.

The garden lies in the Garrovo streambed a few metres from Villa d'Este, in Cernobbio. Paths, wooden bridges and ponds follow the stream, so wear shoes that can handle damp ground. Each spring, art exhibitions and concerts are held to fund the garden's upkeep.

The garden was known locally as the "Valle dei Rovi" (Valley of Brambles) before Ida Lonati Frati, called Nonna Pupa, adopted it with the help of her granddaughter Giulia. Filmmaker Giulia Frati later made the documentary Il Giardino di Nonna Pupa, awarded in 2008 at the Festival des films pour l'environnement in Saint-Casimir, Quebec.
