The eight-acre Italian Garden is sited within the Gardens of Felicita, a fifty acre garden in the Harrisburg foothills. With dramatic views of the landscape, the formal garden was designed around three existing pavilions as a space for display gardens and outdoor theater. Along a central axis, design elements include an amphitheater, and three large terraces with pools, sculpture, fountains, staircases and gardens.
