The garden was established circa 1901 by Arturo Hruska (1889 – 1971), an Austrian dentist and botanist, who from 1910-1971 collected many species on the grounds of his villa, organized as a dense forest of bamboo, Japanese ponds, streams, and waterfalls, as well as alpine plants in ravines. Since 1988 it has been owned by artist André Heller, and now contains interesting sculptures by Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, and so forth, set among more than 500 species including cactus, edelweiss, ferns including Osmunda regalis, magnolias, orchids, water lilies, and trees.
The garden is open from March until October, every day from 9AM to 7PM

Poet, soldier, hypochondriac and proto-Fascist, Gabriele d’Annunzio (1863–1938) defies easy definition, and so does his estate. Bombastic, extravagant and unsettling, it’s home to every architectural and decorative excess imaginable and the decor helps shed light on the man. In the 1920s d’Annunzio became a strong supporter of Fascism and Mussolini, while his affairs with wealthy women were legendary.
The amphitheatre is the first major structure one comes across after entering the estate and was clearly based upon classic models, the architect Maroni even visiting Pompeii for inspiration. Its location, like the other buildings of the Vittoriale undeniably offers a majestic view of the Garda lake, it is still used for performances today (Patty Smith, The National, Buena vista social club)

The Risotto is one of my favorite plates and this is the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. Is usually a primo (first course), served on its own before the main course, but risotto alla milanese, pronounced [ɾiˈzɔtːo alːa milaˈneːze], is often served together with ossobuco alla milanese. This is a special recipe by our friend Chef Teo, a classic Risotto alla milanese with mushroom…delicius!!! Ingredients:
A shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons of Cervanos’s extravergin olive oil
200 g mushroom
300 g rice, for example Arborio or Carnaroli
A packet of saffron
Broth
Parmigiano
A glass of white wine
2 tablespoons of minced parsley
Butter
Salt & pepper to taste
Parsley
Time: 10 min preparation, 16-18 min cooking
Difficulty: medium
Preparation:
– Put mushrooms in a pan with oil, garlic and parsley
– Sauté the shallot in the oil with salt (will prevent burns it)
– When it has wilted and become golden, add the rise
– Mix and when it’s toasted put the white wine with the fire high
– Add a ladle of the broth
– Add mushrooms
– Cook for 16-18 minutes with fire medium
