Every city possesses its own smell, the scent of orange blossom has always characterized the city of Palermo. The study on the green city brought out the signs of ancient gardens, green spaces, courtyards, vegetable gardens, citrus groves that had an urban relevance that was studied for this area. The area is located in a densely built historic context that with the garden becomes the generating matrix of an ecological corridor that connects it to other gardens in the city. An Eden as the Arab gardens of Sicily were.

The rooftop connects with an elevated walkway to the Branciforte aristocratic palace, now home to the Mount of Santa Rosalia. Following the example of ancient Arab gardens, this green corner dialogues at a height of 5.70 m. with the surrounding buildings that form a backdrop on all four sides.

It is a garden in the sky, in which green in its light and dark shades blends with white, yellow, and bits of red that vary with the seasons. A dominant feature to this symphony of trees, shrubs and flowers is the different scents of flowers and fruits.

The chosen plants are characterized as a narrative from the cultural, nutritional, biochemical health, pharmacological and aesthetic value of the Sicilian plant world described in myths, legends and symbols of the land of Sicily. The strategy adopted offers a garden idea in which nature is performative with respect to the human-environment relationship. The design in formal appearance marries the curved line by making semi rooms with different shading also according to exposure, but to the content to offer a place where relaxation and a sense of calm dominate.
