The Rose Gardens of Cavriglia

May is just around the corner, meaning the wonderful "Roseto Botanico" soon will proudly display almost two thousand species and hybrids of roses from all around the world, blossoming and welcoming a spring in shades of crimson. A spectacle worthy of being part of our "Italy's Best Kept Secrets" series.

Located in Cavriglia (Arezzo, Tuscany) and close to Florence, the "Carla Fineschi" Rose Gardens were named by Professor Fineschi after his partner, who devoted her life and talents to make the gardens a reality.

It's run by a non-profit organization and holds several events and activities for cultural, scientific and touristic purposes every year.
