The Labyrinth of the Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio. The first stop will be the centuries-old labyrinth in the Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio, created with six thousand evergreen boxwood shrubs planted between 1664-1669. Designed by architect Luigi Bernini on the instructions of San Gregorio Barbarigo, this labyrinth represents the arduous path of human perfectibility. You will proceed between the high boxwood walls, searching for the way out. There will be many shortcuts that will mislead you, leading you into one of six dead ends, symbolising the deadly vices of Gluttony, Lust, Avarice, Sloth, Wrath and Envy, or into the vicious circle representing Pride. The lesson this labyrinth will leave you with is that the right path is never the seemingly shortest one. Once out of this ‘hellish’ labyrinth, you will be ready to face limbo.

The Castle of San Pelagio. When you arrive at the Castle of San Pelagio, you will walk through the labyrinth of mirrors, a symbol of disorientation: you risk losing your bearings and, through a visual game that creates a sense of estrangement, even yourself. The labyrinth, with no dead ends, represents purgatory, a spiral with only one exit. Once you understand the key to liberation - retracing your steps - you will be ready for paradise.
