Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli

Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli ("Indro Montanelli Public Gardens"), formerly known as Giardini Pubblici and Giardini di Porta Venezia (and renamed after journalist and writer Indro Montanelli in 2002) are a major and historic city park in Milan, Italy, located in the Porta Venezia district, north-east of the city center, in the Zone 1 administrative division. Established in 1784, they are the oldest city park in Milan. After their establishment, the Gardens have been repeatedly enlarged (to the current overall area of 172,000 square metres (43 acres) and enriched with notable buildings, most notably the Natural History Museum (1888–1893) and the Planetarium (1930). From 1882 until the early 20th century (c. 1906), the Scuola Superiore d'Arte Applicata all'Industria was based in a building within the Giardini Pubblici area, which later became the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano.
