It was at the beginning of the twentieth century that thanks to the German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp and the engineering contribution of Emilio Meyer this green oasis was born, Conceived as a winter garden of succulents and then transformed into a floral jewel where you can admire many species on the island.
