In northern Italy, the gardens of the Royal Palace of Venaria near Turin are also in bloom, where rows of cherry trees transform the historic grounds.

Inspired by the Japanese tradition of hanami, visitors gather to experience the brief flowering period, which lasts only a few days each year.

As evening falls, the atmosphere shifts: soft lighting illuminates the blossoms, intensifying their color and transforming the gardens into an immersive, almost theatrical setting.
