The wide garden was a vegetable garden at the times of the poet and of that period the ancient boundary walls are the only remaining element together with the hill on which it his located the pomegranate tree (Punica granatum), which is 140 years old and gave inspiration to the poet for the well-known poem “Pianto antico”, dedicated to his son Dante, who had died when he was only three years old 9th November 1870.
