View of the garden and villa on the hill
Giusti Garden ( Italian: Palazzo e Giardino Giusti ) is a palace and park complex , built at the end of the 16th century on a hillside near the eastern outskirts of Verona ( Italy ).
The building has a classic U-shaped, traditional for country villas of this period. In 1580, a garden with numerous terraces and gazebos was set next to the villa. Garden sections have the correct geometric shape and are separated by cypresses . Of the garden's decorations, there are: a fountain with figures of dolphins , several antique statues, a fountain of red Verona marble , as well as a stone maskeron-belvedere on the top of the hill, designed to spew fire.
