The garden of Casa Biasi is the tangible expression of a true passion for plants and flowers: in fact, several generations of its owners have always managed to create something extremely beautiful and evocative, supported by their deep botanical knowledge.

The current garden covers a part of the ancient orchard of Villa Boldieri -Trentini and it has been developed by Mario and Luciana Biasi since 1977, on the former vineyard crops – the latter were supposedly abandoned due to very low yield.

The relationship between open spaces and the villa, the land features, the exposure, and the evolution of taste have dramatically contributed to the birth of two different areas: the romantic park and the Mediterranean garden. The former has the appearance of a XIX century park, designed around the ancient staircase that descends from the hall through the main floor of the villa: right there, large specimens of lime trees, Lebanon cedars, plane trees, and maples can be found, as well as hellebores, camellias, irises, cyclamens, anemones, hydrangeas, and plantain lilies in the undergrowth. Ferns and perennial herbaceous plants are abundant as well.

On the other hand, the Mediterranean garden covers the eastern part of the romantic park and it is arranged in steps on the sloping terrain; the latter is arid and gravelly due to centuries-old flooding from the Pesina stream, which was fitted with embankments only during the 1700s.

In the highest part of the garden, there’s a small olive grove and several cypresses, oleanders, citrus fruits, flowering bushes, jasmine, palm trees, ancient and modern roses, peonies, and anemones. All these plants are neatly arranged along the terraces, clearly marking large lawns or smaller gardens.
