If the first things that come to mind when you think of an Italian vacation are art, museums and ancient ruins, you will be pleasantly surprised by the Garden of Tarot. Located near Capalbio, the Garden of Tarot is unlike any other garden in the world!
Created by a French artist over a period of seventeen years, this garden was assembled one piece at a time and features some of the most eye catching sculptures in the world! Made using a variety of materials including ceramics, cement, iron, and even glass, some of the sculptures tower as high as fifteen meters and are inspired by the twenty two figures of the tarot cards.
Each of the sculptures are open to the visitor’s personal interpretation and are so incredibly detailed that it may take more than one trip to appreciate all of the work and beauty displayed here.

What makes the Garden of Tarot so unique is the way that the sculptures are set in the beautiful natural Italian landscape. The combination of natural beauty and interpretive sculpture transcends it from any other art experience in Italy or the wider world. If you thought that the only art worth experiencing in Italy came from the Age of the Renaissance, a trip to the Garden of Tarot will change your mind.
