At the bottom of the garden stands the sculpture by Olimpia Zagnoli, created on the occasion of the exhibition: TicTig

Bonvesin’s page dedicated to the fruits that Milan was rich in is a lively celebration of flavors and colors.
“The green orchards… are very often full of excellent fruits of almost every kind, offering the human palate the pleasure of a good taste.”
Bonvesin, as usual, is precise and detailed. He says that “plums — white, reddish, yellow, and damson” are produced in “almost endless abundance.”
He then assures that “summer pears and apples appear in great excess.”
Regarding apples, he adds that Milan is also rich in “winter apples,” “quince apples,” and “pomegranate apples, particularly good for those who are ill” (a pomegranate tree was also present in the garden of Casa Testori).

The list continues with mentions of “figs known as ‘fioroni'”; “domestic hazelnuts, then cornelian cherries, more suited to women.” And even almonds are cited (“although few,” Bonvesin notes).
Particularly beautiful are the lines dedicated to walnuts:
“Walnuts in unbelievable abundance, which citizens — if they enjoy them — eat throughout the entire year at the end of every meal. They also crush them and mix them with eggs, cheese, and pepper, making a stuffing for meats during the winter season. They also extract oil from the walnuts, which is widely used among us.”
