Gli Orti del Parnaso chiamati anche Giardino del Dragone devono il loro altisonante nome alla scultura del serpente o appunto di un dragone completata nel 1990 su progetto di Marco Dezzi Bardeschi. L'enorme statua che divide in due la scalinata centrale e che in origine doveva avere la funzione di fontana, rappresenta il serpente Pitone contro cui il dio Apollo combatté e vinse sulle pendici del monte Parnaso, montagna nei pressi di Delfi, su cui secondo la mitologia greca vivevano le Muse.

Al Parco si può accedere dal cancello in via Trento che conduce immediatamente sul belvedere, oppure dal basso, dal giardino dell'Orticultura in cui si entra da via Bolognese, 17.



Il serpentone realizzato nel 1990 su progetto di Marco Dezzi Bardeschi, rappresenta invece il mito di Pitone. Un serpente talmente grande che era in grado di avvolgere per ben 7 volte la città di Delfi .
Inoltre, con il suo alito pestilenziale



era in grado di far appassire tutte le piante sulle quali si posava il suo respiro. Fu proprio il dio Apollo a sconfiggere il serpente sul monte Parnaso dando inizio ai sacro giochi pitici, precursori dei giochi Olimpici ellenici.



L'ingresso agli Orti del Parnaso è da via Trento 11. Il parco è aperto tutti i giorni dalle ore 8 alle 19 ed, ovviamente, non prevede biglietto d'ingresso. Se state cercando una Firenze insolita questa tappa merita assolutamente di far parte del vostro itinerario!

Beautiful choice of PDR that leads you to have a close encounter with the dragon, but also the other shots are no less, caption and descriptions very interesting, congratulations Loris.
A warm greeting and Happy Easter Monday.
