Each March Corso Garibaldi in Lucca becomes a pink and white explosion of beauty. Here is a description I found in a local publication many years ago.
“If you will be there around the half of March you’ll fill the emotion of walking between the wings of magnolia trees, whose leafage full of flowers looks like the big rose coloured fireworks even though…unnaturally static.”
Half of me wonders why someone doesn’t take advice from an English speaker and the other half loves these translations.
Here is gorgeous Corso Garibaldi right now.
The flowers have come early this year. Be quick if you want to see them, the spectacle doesn’t last long.
So true Debra, sometimes I cannot believe in many marketing publications the translation but then I so enjoy the story, who cares.

Last year severe cold killed the flowers. It’s great to see them back this year.

I asked because some types of magnolias here are quite fragrant.

The giant white ones are fragrant, they come later in the season.

No, the big white grandiflora magnolias have a scent, but these not so much.

“Leafage”! I love that. Such a gorgeous display. I was just a little too early. Thanks for making it so I saw them anyway 🙂

Hi Debora! Fabulous photos as always. A question, please would you remind me who constructed your beautiful garden wall at Vergemoli please? Thank you so much.

They were Albanian and have a house in Fornoli. I can’t remember their names, but I drive past their house often and will read the sign and let you know.
