Guido Vergani Park- Bompiani Garden
This post is also available in: Italiano (Italian)
These two parks, better known by the locals as Pallavicino Park, are located in a beautiful neighborhood west of the city center; together, they offer a green area of almost 22 acres very popular around town.
There are several reserved for the visitors, six leisure areas, and three spaces for dogs. The two gardens are divided by Leone XIII Institute complex. They were built in 1960 and redeveloped in 2001; the latter works led to several differences in height devised as noise barriers. Flooring renovations took place as well, along with the enhancement of overall lighting and the playground equipment. Green areas with shrubs and trees were eventually built. Today, the plants grow on an area that used to be reserved for residential buildings, but that project was eventually discarded.
At the beginning of the last century, this was the Simplon railway yard that extended to Porta Genova.
There are many tree species that bless the whole area with their wondrous colors: there are silver maples, sycamore maples, hornbeams, London plane trees, sweetgum, small-leaved limes, Siberian elms, magnolias, apple trees, hawthorns, red oaks, and swamp Spanish oaks, East Asian cherry trees, holm oaks, and koelreuterias.
Residents and visitors alike can enjoy the peculiar fountain made with rocks (and thus without a pool) on hot summer days in Milan.
