Terrace of Villa Capponi (Florence)

Italy / Toscana / Florence

The first terrace, immediately behind the villa, is a broad grassy area stretching the length of the northern side of the building, on which an ancient wisteria hangs. To the east, on the same level, is the entrance to a delightful secret garden, rectangular in layout and edged in box hedges. Access to this formal garden, separated from the lawn by another box hedge, is marked by two columns surmounted by two terracotta griffins. www.cultura.toscana.it/architetture/giardini/firenze/vi...
