Verona Further Distractions
One of the most beautiful Renaissance gardens in Italy, the Giardino Giusti behind the palace of the same name is a spacious garden featuring flower beds, fountains, statues, a cypress-lined avenue and one of Europe's oldest labyrinths. It dates from the late 16th century, but has been redesigned and renovated many times since then. The garden has status as a National Monument in Italy.
