In fact, as early as 1825, it was planned to build part of the park between the city center and the beach. This park, called "Il Boschetto", has inside "Palco della Musica", an exquisite work of freedom style and several bust in memory of the most illustrious La Spezia and a series of evergreen plants to represent the series of seasons.
The subsequent inauguration of the Arsenal military (28 August 1869) led to the proliferation of green spaces in the city: the digging of ponds for the construction of ponds and shipyards provided an enormous amount of material poured into the sea to be used as land for the implementation of gardens and gardens that still exist today.
