Few tourists venture to Giardini Pubblici, a large park created in 1807 by Napoleon Bonaparte in Venice’s eastern district called Castello Sestiere. It is filled with shaded grass, walkways, pavilions from 30 nations and the Monumento a Giuseppe Garibaldi, a tribute to a 19th century Italian general. This statue is Giuseppe Zolli, his closest guardian and one of his soldiers who were called Redshirts or Camice Rosse. The park hosts the Venice Biennale Art Festival every other summer, which is an exhibition of contemporary art.
