Giardino Carmelo Bene

Giardino Carmelo Bene occupies a green setting in northern Milan, within the Ghisolfa district. The park dates from 2000. Milan dedicated this space to Carmelo Bene, an Italian actor whose work shaped theatre and film. Its 10,800 square metres create an urban retreat. A walk through the garden brings together varied plant species, green surroundings, and a setting designed for people and wildlife. The vegetation supports biodiversity in the city.

You can use the space for a leisurely walk, a picnic, or a quiet pause among Milan’s busy streets. Ghisolfa connects the garden with Milan’s changing northern landscape. The garden belongs to the city’s wider effort to add green spaces within its urban environment. Its name keeps Carmelo Bene’s avant-garde contribution to Italian theatre present in Milan’s public landscape. The Giardino Carmelo Bene offers a distinct green perspective on Milan.
