After two months of lockdown, Italians seem more eager than ever to spend time outside, preferably in nature. Here are eight Italian gardens that have recently reopened where to take a relaxing walk, and where social distancing is easy to maintain. 

Lake Maggiore - Parco Palavicino

Parco Pallavicino comprises 18 hectares of park on Stresa’s lakeside promenade. The garden is part of Villa Pallavicino and includes a farm with 50 species of mammals and birds, making it an ideal outing with children. The Flower Garden is also a highlight of the visit, especially in summer when many species are in bloom. The trees are also remarkable, some hundreds of years old.
