Inscription. Il Giardino delle Rose, con la sua collezione di oltre 350 specie di rose e la splendida vista panoramica, costituisce uno spazio verde monumentale nel cuore della città. Al suo interno sono state collocate anche undici opere del grande artista belga Jean-Michel Folon, oltre ad un raffinato giardino giapponese 'Shorai-teien', che la città gemellata di Kyoto e il Tempio Zen 'Kodai-Ji' hanno voluto lasciare alla nostra città come pegno di amicizia messaggio universale di pace. Per queste ragioni il luogo dove state entrando rappresenta davvero un museo a cielo aperto. Il giardino, originariamente aperto al pubblico nel solo mese di maggio, è ora accessibile tutto l'anno per molte ore al giorno e confidiamo che questa facilità e continuità di ingresso vengano ripagate dai visitatori sotto forma di attenzione e di rispetto per il luogo in cui si trovano.

La bellezza è un bene che interpella la responsabilità di tutti noi.

of the great Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folón are exhibited. One can also find a refined Japanese garden 'Shorai-teien", which was a gift from our iwin city Kyoto and the Zen temple of Kodai-Ji' as a sign of friendship and a universal message of peace. For these reasons the place you are entering can perfectly described as an outdoor museum. Initially, the garden was open to the public only during the month of May. Nowadays, it is accessible all year round for many hours a day. We trust that the visitors will show their gratitude for this facility by showing attention and respect for the area.

Beauty is an asset that requires responsibility from all of us.
