This is a study centre linked to the university department of Botanical Biology set up in 1729 which was reopened to the public only in 1997. In the botanic garden called 'Boschetto', a strip of the old forest which used to cover the Padana plain has been rebuilt. As well as local flora there are also exotic plants here.
