This is a historic nursery overlooking Maggiore Lake, now run by the three brothers Roberto, Dario, and Luciano Piffaretti. They reproduce and cultivate acidophilic plants, in particular camellias, including Camellia japonica and its hybrids Camellia japonica Higo and Rusticana, autumn-winter camellias (Camellia sasanqua, C. hiemalis, C. vernalis), Camellia reticulata and its hybrids, hybrids of other species and botanical species, also available in large sizes.

Over the years, some cultivars have been painstakingly selected and grown, including “Marta Piffaretti”, with small leaves and a small flower (since October 1974), “Youth”, with a lighter pink flower (since 1975, “Cadeau de Noel”, with a small flower, similar to a bright pink rose, “Swan Lake”, with a large single flower, pure white and light green rounded leaves, and “White Christmas”, with a double flower, white and very small that blooms during the Christmas holidays (since in 1985).

The nursery experts also offer their long experience in the creation of gardens and terraces.
