Villa Invernizzi
Via Cappuccini, 7, 20122 Milano MI
Private walled garden where pink flamingos have wandered freely since the nineteen seventies.
This guide to Villa Invernizzi in Milan follows a dozen pink flamingos wading through a private walled garden two blocks from Corso Venezia, and how they got there: dairy magnate Romeo Invernizzi's decision in the 1970s to bring the birds from South America and Africa, just before an international treaty made such imports illegal. It traces how the flock adapted to Milanese winters over the decades. Peer through the iron fence on this quiet street for the closest look anyone gets.
