Description
Gardens of Villa Pompeo Mariani - Bordighera - Italy by Jenny Rainbow.
The gardens of the villa, which are developed on a portion of the old Moreno Gardens, have an area of about one hectare and, as often happens in Bordighera, can boast centuries-old trees. Still today you can admire palms, soles of oranges, tangerines, lemons and of course numerous olive trees, many of which are between 200 and 400 years. Near La Specola there are two olive trees which, according to the State Forestry Department, are older than 500 years. All the olive trees in the garden of the villa belong to the taggiasca variety, which has a very slow growth. It is impressive to note that you can still recognize the olive trees painted by Claude Monet in his painting "Study of olive trees", now in a private collection. Spots used by Monet are marked with panels in which are copies of his paintings. In the garden there is also a fountain with a mask of the 15th century from Tuscany.
Since 2008 the gardens are part of the "Great Italian Gardens".
