The restoration of the Italian garden dating from the mid-18th century, a unique example of landscape gardening art, is being completed at Mir Castle. It will welcome its first visitors as early as autumn. For now, builders are putting the finishing touches on the landscaping work, while museum staff are actively developing a concept for a bright, ceremonial opening. A BelTA correspondent found out what the Italian garden at the castle was like in the distant past, what it will look like when it reopens, and why this project can fully be called a reconstruction of a historical regular park.
