Boboli Gardens - Florence
The Boboli Gardens, in Italian Giardino di Boboli, form a famous park in Florence, Italy.
In the first phase of building, the amphitheatre was excavated in the hillside behind the palace. Initially formed by clipped edges and greens, it was later formalized by rebuilding in stone decorated with statues based on Roman myths such as the Fountain of the Ocean sculpted by Giambologna, then transferred to another location within the same garden.
