A city garden built in the 1970s, exactly where the Gentilino Cemetery used to be until 1895.

This park can be found between Via Tabacchi and Via Tibaldi, on over 10 acres of walkways and beautiful trees that follow the old street layout of ancient times.
In 2013, this garden was dedicated to the Resistance of the Martyrs of Viale Tibaldi, killed by the Social Republic in 1944-45. There are two basketball courts, two dog areas, several playgrounds, a civic center, and a nursery school.

Among the tree species, there are field maples (Acer campestre), Norway maples (Acer platanoides), sycamore maples (Acer pseudoplatanus), silver maples (Acer saccharinum), Nettle trees (Celtis australis), Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki), cherry plums (Prunus cerasifera “Pissardii”, Prunus serrulata “Kanzan”), common figs (Ficus carica), white mulberries (Morus alba), horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), Eastern black walnuts (Juglans nigra), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), elms (Ulmus spp.), London plane trees (Platanus hybrida), red oaks (Quercus rubra), and lime (Tilia hybrida).
