The 19th-century Communal Villa of Lecce is located in the heart of the city center, between Piazza Mazzini and Piazza Sant’Oronzo.\n\nFrom the center of the villa, marked by an octagonal tempietto with a green majolica-covered dome, the main avenues radiate out perpendicularly, from which secondary paths wind through the vegetation.\n\nSome exotic plants, such as the phytolacca dioica typical of Argentina, alternate with pines and other native specimens. The entire area is dotted with marble busts of illustrious figures from the region, sculpted by Eugenio Maccagnani and Giuseppe Mangionello at the end of the 19th century, culminating in the Monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi.
