Mesmerizing footage of the Isola Bella Gardens in Italy

Whether it be a magnificent castle complex or a small private ornamental garden: Gardens have always served as a distraction and as objects of pleasure. The way they are designed always tells you something about the relationship between people and nature.

The famous Isola Bella Garden is truly striking and leaves visitors speechless: an Italian garden composed of ten overlapping terraces in the shape of a cut-off pyramid, embellished with statues, fountains, rare shrubs and exotic plants and flowers with delicate scents such as magnolias and camellias. The upper section of the gardens (known as the amphitheatre due to the performances put on here) is dominated by the unicorn – the coat of arms of the House of Borromeo.
