the garden of Villa Pennisi is one of the few ancient gardens that have resisted the assaults of building speculation: in fact it has managed to keep it intact in its structure and in its original dimensions.

Thus, centenary palms (Washingtonia, Chamaerops, Poenix) or gigantic Yucca, Strelitzia, Guaiabo, Cycas, Jacaranda, Chorysia, surrounded by more familiar walnut, maritime pine, mulberry meet the visitor. Today, the imposing hedges of boxwood have surrendered their role to more delightful borders of Chlorophytum elatum with variegated leaves; while the lawn of Dichondra makes the path between the various flowerbeds homogeneous and bright, highlighting, together with the overall design of the garden and the wide open spaces among the impressive arboreal groups from the recent renovation. also the hydrangeas, the clivie, the hibiscus, the lantana, the roses, the datures. The focal point of the garden is a magnificent wrought iron gazebo with its elegantly designed wisteria-like grid, and the cobblestone floor arranged in geometric shapes, surrounded by blue agapanthus, rose bushes, Macrantha geraniums or from colored Dimorfoteca.

Not far from the pool, awaits to be restored a precious structure characterized by a “Greek cross” plan, inside which still can be glimpsed, inside the panels that occupy the walls, the large painted canvases, representing elegantly dressed female figures, the wooden comics carved with flowers and fruits to surround the family’s insignia, and the wrought iron barriers with a magnificent design: this is the small, harmonious and harmonious building where the ladies of the time gathered to take tea, whose The roof is artificially covered by a cascade of lava stones, to simulate the remains of an ancient eruption, and to bring out the protection collection of the female “temple” against the natural dangers of the nearby volcano. Next to it, a small wrought iron staircase leads to a “belvedere” placed at the height of the roof of the building, from which the eye once swept up to the majestic Etna.
