Once, the garden was owned by the Jesuits. Inaugurated in 1960, it is named after the close collaboration that developed between the Bolognese and Bellunese partisans during the Resistance against Nazism and Fascism.
In 2010, the sculptor Massimo Facchin, a veteran of the Russian campaign, placed at the center of the Città di Bologna park a bronze bas-relief commemorating the fallen in Russia during the First World War. Carved into the central panel is the word: “Why,” repeated in all languages as a testament to the senselessness of wars.
As of February 2025, work has begun on the Città di Bologna Park in Belluno for the creation of the park “The Island that Doesn’t Exist.” An inclusive play area, the first in the province and, with an area of 660 square meters and 130 children, the largest themed park in Europe. It will feature eleven play attractions divided into five thematic areas, inspired by the scenarios and symbolic places from the fairy tale of Peter Pan: the Jolly Roger, a faithful reconstruction of the famous pirate galleon, the Sirens’ Lagoon, Skull Rock, the Indian Camp, and the Tree, a magical refuge where children can let their imagination run wild and stimulate their creativity.
Un tempo il giardino era di proprietà dei Gesuiti. Inaugurato nel 1960, deve il suo nome al fatto che durante la Resistenza al nazifascismo si instaurò uno stretto rapporto di collaborazione tra i partigiani bolognesi e quelli bellunesi.
Nel 2010 lo scultore Massimo Facchin, reduce della campagna di Russia, pone al centro del parco città di Bologna, un basso rilievo in bronzo che commemora i caduti in Russia durante la prima Guerra Mondiale. Nel pannello centrale è scolpita la parola: “Perché”, ripetuta in tutte le lingue a testimoniare il non senso delle guerre.
