Giardino tra i ruderi

Giardino tra i ruderi lies among ruined houses in Sanremo’s historic centre, close to a large church. Stone walls and several terraces shape the view. Small garden spaces climb between surviving structures, with geraniums in many colours marking each corner. Each level opens towards the city or surrounding hills.

Residents created the garden among houses that could not be rebuilt after the earthquake, preserving the old atmosphere. The original stone and materials anchor the restoration. A restored room retains furnishings arranged to show life before the earthquake, while teapots and found objects become garden art. People from different backgrounds shaped this work.

At the top, the romantic terrace frames another view across the city and hills. Some nearby houses still await their restoration. Look for colourful objects beside the geraniums, where domestic details meet the surviving stone.
