The entrance to the garden Torrigiani (garden of private property) extends to the walls along the Viale Petrarca. The garden was designed by Luigi Cambray - Digny and later continued by Gaetano Baccani. Baccani built in 1821 the beautiful neo-gothic tower whose top is located a small observatory from which is possible to admire and study the constellations. In the center of a flowerbed in the garden there is a group of classic sculptures dedicated to Piero Torrigiani, by Pio Fedi.
