“Built in the mid-16th century for Giovan Battista Strozzi, the park reflects his desire to expand the Cafaggio forest, for which he also acquired a number of the neighboring properties. His residence was built inside the park featuring a large garden, water 'games’ and decorative woodland elements. It wasn’t until after the Second World War that the park and villa were purchased by the City of Florence and transformed into a public park named the Garden of Villa Strozzi or the Boschetto Gardens.” (Villa Strozzi, Destination Florence)
