- Garden of Villa Barbarigo - The Labyrinth of the Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio. Begin your journey at the ancient labyrinth in the Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio, crafted with six thousand evergreen boxwood shrubs planted between 1664-1669. Designed by architect Luigi Bernini under the guidance of San Gregorio Barbarigo, this labyrinth symbolizes the challenging journey of human perfectibility. Navigate through the towering boxwood walls, seeking the exit. Numerous shortcuts may deceive you, leading to one of six dead ends, representing the deadly vices of Gluttony, Lust, Avarice, Sloth, Wrath, and Envy, or into the vicious circle symbolizing Pride. The lesson imparted by this labyrinth is that the correct path is rarely the seemingly shortest one. Once you emerge from this ‘hellish’ maze, you will be prepared to face limbo.
- Museo dell’Aria - Castello di San Pelagio - The Castle of San Pelagio. Upon reaching the Castle of San Pelagio, explore the labyrinth of mirrors, a symbol of disorientation: you risk losing your bearings and, through a visual illusion that creates a sense of estrangement, even yourself. This labyrinth, without dead ends, represents purgatory, a spiral with only one exit. Once you grasp the key to liberation - retracing your steps - you will be ready for paradise.
- Bovolenta - Lavender labyrinth. The final labyrinth leads you to a heavenly spot in the lush Venetian countryside where horses live naturally. In this tranquil and silent place, wander through a lavender labyrinth inspired by the one at Notre Dame de Chartres by the Knights Templar. Enveloped by the fragrance of this medicinal plant and free from all worries, conclude your journey with the understanding that the sometimes winding path of life is worth traversing to achieve your dreams and goals.
