Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli

Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli ("Indro Montanelli Public Gardens"), formerly known as Giardini Pubblici and Giardini di Porta Venezia (and renamed after journalist and writer Indro Montanelli in 2002) are a major and historic city park in Milan, Italy, located in the Porta Venezia district, north-east of the city center, in the Zone 1 administrative division.

In 1780, Ferdinand, Duke of Breisgau, who was Viceroy of Milan in 1771–1796, assigned architect Giuseppe Piermarini at the renewal of the area and the establishment of a city park.

In the 19th Century the Natural History Museum was established, along with other "animal attractions" such as aviaries and exhibits with deer, monkeys and a giraffe; this would later evolve in Milan's Zoo (which was dismantled in 1992).

Notable buildings include the Ulrico Hoepli Planetarium (designed by architect Pietro Portalupi in 1929), the Natural History Museum (1892, Giovanni Cerutti), the 17th Century Palazzo Dugnani, and the eclectic Padiglione del Caffé by architect Giuseppe De Finetti.

Montanelli was also shot in his legs by the terrorist group Brigate Rosse on June 2, 1977; his statue has been placed close to the spot where this happened.
