The large terrace held a citrus garden. The later stages, according to Wikipedia and Grandi Giardini Italiani:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1836:<\/strong> bought by the Florentine Maccarani marquises; the park takes on a romantic character, with paths leading to viewpoints.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1888:<\/strong> passes to the English banker Sir Reginald Pearse, who decorates the rooms in Liberty style and adds ornamental trees to the holm-oak wood, creating an English-style park.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Early 20th century:<\/strong> owned by the Magni Griffi marquises. The playwright Sem Benelli stayed in the Torretta, a building on the estate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1926:<\/strong> shipowner Gio Batta Bibolini buys it and commissions the architect Franco Oliva to extend the villa and reorganise the park (work until 1949, according to Grandi Giardini Italiani).<\/li>\n<li><strong>1979:<\/strong> ownership passes to the Cassa di Risparmio della Spezia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The park and the Italian garden<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f31a2fc9de57150a61ee440ff0283f6e-1024x676.webp\" class=\"wp-image-32535\" alt=\"Villa Marigola and its park in Lerici\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f31a2fc9de57150a61ee440ff0283f6e-1024x676.webp 1024w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f31a2fc9de57150a61ee440ff0283f6e-300x198.webp 300w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f31a2fc9de57150a61ee440ff0283f6e-768x507.webp 768w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f31a2fc9de57150a61ee440ff0283f6e-1536x1014.webp 1536w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f31a2fc9de57150a61ee440ff0283f6e.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>The present layout is Oliva&#8217;s: he linked the evergreen wood behind the villa to the Italian parterre along a single axis. The parterre has borders of box and stachys, looks towards Lerici Castle and is framed by cypresses and large magnolias. According to Grandi Giardini Italiani it is one of the few Italian gardens by the sea that is still well preserved: that is the network&#8217;s view, not a measurable fact.<\/p>\n<p>At the entrance stands the so-called B\u00f6cklin garden, a small shaded rocaille imitating a grotto; the name recalls the Swiss painter Arnold B\u00f6cklin, mentioned among the visitors in Pearse&#8217;s time. From the terraces you see Lerici Castle, the bay of San Terenzo with its own castle, the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto and the outline of <a href=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/en\/riviera-di-levante\/portovenere\/\">Portovenere<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>The poets: do not mix up the villas<\/h2>\n<p>The Gulf of Poets is tied to Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley, but their home was Villa Magni, in San Terenzo, on the waterfront.
