Our walk begins in the surroundings of the lake where you can breathe only scents of herbs. As we were walking we could see the hoaxes burning the grass.
The surroundings of the lake are serene, there are many palm trees that are preserved with great care. In the gardens there is a museum with different species of embalmed birds. Lake Fogliano is the ideal place to sit on the shore in the company of a good book: pure harmony.
This area began to grow in 1742 thanks to the Caetani family who undertook the construction of the hunting house. In 1877, the manor house and the so-called “English Villa” were built. The botanical garden of Villa Fogliano was born as an exotic garden at the end of the 19th century, by the will of Alda Wilbraham, wife of Onorato Caetani, who introduced species exotic, and in particular palm trees.
It is known that thanks to the characteristic scents of the Mediterranean scrub, and the variety of shapes and sizes of the species present in the botanical garden & ; egrave; it was possible to create a path for the blind.
