Park of the Queen :
Once called "Park Regina Margherita", in homage to the sovereign assiduous guest of the Grand Hôtel des Thermes, the Park Mazzini is now the green heart of the city.This work was motivated by the need to make the city environment as pleasant as possible for foreign guests when, in early 1900, Margaret lived there.
The park was designed in 1912 by Joseph Roda, a landscape architect from Turin, with a pattern of paths and flowerbeds through elliptical lines typical of the Art Deco period.
The project was developed in 1913 on an area of about 110,000 square meters, creating a large ring with a central garden in oriental style with pagoda and pond, according to the taste of the time, to recreate an asymmetric contemplative landscape.
Over time the park, while maintaining substantially the initial configuration of Roda, underwent variations and reductions in area, in particular with the construction of the Terme Zoja in 1968. The area is particularly rich in various species of trees: almost all of them still belong to the original plant.
