Tarot Garden: amusement park

In this country, whose roots go back to the Etruscan civilisation, you will find not only crystal clear water, sunny beaches and thermal springs. Tuscany's Maremma, whose borders between Cecina and Tarquinia were defined by Dante Alighieri, has also become famous over the years for its Garden of Joy, described by its creator, the French-American architect and sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle, as "a little corner of paradise. A place where man meets nature".

In the heart of the Maremma Grosseto, 200 km from Florence and 130 km from Rome, amidst the greenery of the Mediterranean maquis, there is an amusement park which, with its shapes, colours and materials, is very reminiscent of Gaudi's work in Barcelona. Have you ever heard of the Tarot Garden?

The garden is located on the outskirts of Capalbio, in the Garavicchio locality, on an area of about 2 hectares and it houses 22 sculptures depictingof tarot card arcana, up to 15 metres high, made of steel and concrete and covered with mirrors, glass and coloured ceramics.

The park is open every morning from Monday to Friday during the winter months and every afternoon from 1 April to 15 October.
