The Park and Gardens of Miramare are the expression of the vision of the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Habsburg, a cultured lover of science and travel. His intelligent and innovative project envisaged a cosmopolitan botanical collection and the eclectic combination of different garden concepts. Starting with the cultural-historical context in which the idea was conceived in the mid-nineteenth century, this book reveals the beauty of a spectacular place that, following the extensive conservation and enhancement work conducted in recent years, has turned this historic garden into a lively and welcoming sustainable green museum that remains relevant to the contemporary world.
