A rare example of an ancient garden not complementary to a building, but conceived as an independent space.
Horti Leonini的点评
点评：The title I gave to this review is intended to summarize the uniqueness of the Horti Leonini, which distinguishes them from traditional Renaissance gardens.
A document almost contemporary with their creation (c. 1580) speaks of the Horti being intended for the use of "travelers and especially nobles." A work of public utility, one would say today, conceived as a complement to the restoration of the adjacent city walls, damaged during the so-called "War of Siena" (1552-1559; this term refers to the war that ended the independence of the centuries-old Republic of Siena and its annexation to the Florentine state of the Medici).
This distinct peculiarity of the "Horti" (which are the work of the architect Diomede Leoni, hence their name) must be kept in mind if one wishes to avoid considering (mistakenly) this historic green space as just another public garden.
The Horti — acquired by the municipality in 1975 — appear today to be relatively well preserved compared to their original design, which envisioned a two-part layout: a lower, flat section, divided into sections by box hedges and laid out according to the classic rules of Italian-style Renaissance gardens, and an upper section, on more uneven ground, covered with groves of mostly holm oaks. The upper section also contained the medieval keep tower, destroyed in World War II.
Particularly noteworthy, roughly in the center of the lower section, is the statue of Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici. The statue, by Giuseppe Mazzuoli (1688), has only been here since 1951, having been moved from the nearby Palazzo Chigi.

翻译：我为这篇评论起的标题旨在概括莱昂尼花园的独特之处，正是这种独特性使其区别于传统的文艺复兴花园。
一份几乎与花园建成同时期的文献（约1580年）记载，莱昂尼花园是为“旅行者，尤其是贵族”而建。如今人们会说，这是一项公共工程，其设计初衷是为了配合修复在所谓的“锡耶纳战争”（1552-1559年；该术语指的是终结了拥有数百年历史的锡耶纳共和国的独立，并将其并入佛罗伦萨美第奇家族统治的战争）中受损的邻近城墙。
如果想要避免（错误地）将这片历史悠久的绿地仅仅视为又一个普通的公共花园，就必须牢记莱昂尼花园（由建筑师狄奥梅德·莱昂尼设计，因此得名）的这一独特之处。
花园（Horti）于1975年被市政当局收购，如今与最初的设计相比，保存得相对完好。最初的设计设想花园分为两部分：下部地势平坦，以黄杨树篱分隔成若干区域，并按照意大利文艺复兴时期花园的经典布局进行设计；上部地势较为崎岖，覆盖着以冬青橡树为主的树林。上部还曾包含一座中世纪的塔楼，该塔楼在二战中被毁。
尤其值得一提的是，在下部花园的中心位置，矗立着科西莫三世·德·美第奇大公的雕像。这座由朱塞佩·马祖利（Giuseppe Mazzuoli）创作于1688年的雕像，自1951年起便安放在此，此前它位于附近的基吉宫（Palazzo Chigi）。
