1 feb 1279 anni - First Plantings of the Vatican Gardens
Descrizione:
Pope Nicholas III began the Vatican Gardens in 1279 by planting an orchard, a lawn and a garden. He had just moved his papal residence from the Lateran Palace to the Vatican, and Pope Nicolas III wanted to modify the vineyards that already existed there and create a relaxing space for prayer. As these areas have changed and grown significantly over the centuries, adding many pieces of art and expanding the gardens, today the gardens now include over 57 acres.
