Pier + Anto
The Secret Garden <Giardino Segreto> is a charming apartment in a place full of history. Located inside the third circle of the walls of Bologna, it is near Porta Maggiore. The house preserves traces of its ancient past: wooden beams, a wrought iron railing with spear points and, in the garden, the recent discovery of an hidden environment (today underground), perhaps used for military purposes as the garden belonged to the Templar Church of Bologna. The Giardino Segreto is a charming and relaxing 484 square feet apartment recently restored with all comforts to give you a very Bolognese's exp. Please note that to access the bathroom you need to go through the bedroom zone: isa flat apartment without separation between the rooms.
My name's Pier and with my wife Anto are very glad to meet personally our guests at Giardino Segreto. We love Art and Design and we are pleased to talk about it. Our sons Alex and Gabriele are helping us running the apt. We can giv you a lot of tips about restaurants, museums, concerts, gardens, shops... what else? :-)
The secret garden <Giardino Segreto> is just a few meters from Porta Maggiore, the southern gate of the city of Bologna, located on the Via Emilia, a Roman road built in 189 BC by the Roman consul Marco Emilio Lepido. Over the centuries, the city gate of Strada Maggiore, which is Bologna’s main gate since the 13th century, commissioned by Pope Julius II and fortified in 1507 to defend the city from the South, has seen kings and emperors, popes and chieftains passsing through it: among all Clement VII and Charles V in the months before the Crowning of the Holy Roman Emperor in Bologna in 1530. Porta Maggiore defended Bologna with a real fortified citadel, of which part of the walls remained and the Casa del Capitano, which borders the < Giardino Segreto>. From here starts Strada Maggiore, the only street in Bologna to have preserved the ancient Latin name of strata, or paved street, as is clear from the chronicles of 1182. Dante writes of Strada Maggiore in his De vulgari eloquentia highlighting how the spoken language even differed between the Bolognese of via San Felice and those of Strada Maggiore.
