Treves de Bonfili is a large park in Padua, designed in a romantic English style by architect Giuseppe Jappelli, commissioned by Treves de Bonfili, built between 1829 and 1835.
History
In 1942-1943, the events of the war caused the destruction of most of the handicrafts and the planting of trees. At the time, the park was almost deserted, but in the 1950s it was taken over by the municipality of Padua, which it opened after a basic settlement for the public.
The restoration process between 1996 and 2000, in addition to the inclusion of new trees, was remarkable for the variety and color of foliage, creating areas of historical and vegetative importance (such as the collection of ancient and modern roses, Cuban, Rhododendrons and azaleas) For the previous palm plantations, the Cavalierza bed, the landing stage, the "washing machine" and other important results of the Gabelian antiquities demolished during the war and postwar period.
