Giardino Giusti in Verona can be hired for private events when the garden is closed to visitors: corporate dinners, gala evenings, conferences, concerts and cultural events. The venue is a palace with an Italian formal garden on Via Giardino Giusti, in the city center. It offers four formats, from the outdoor areas alone to the whole noble floor of the palace. The official site gives the surface of each main room but no guest numbers, so capacities are agreed directly with the venue.
Seminars and company events
The Salone delle Feste, 262 m², is presented for corporate dinners, conferences, art exhibitions and concerts. It sits in the central part of the palace, links the north wing and the south wing, and opens onto the cypress avenue through many openings, so the garden stays in view. The venue suggests a simple sequence for a large dinner: guests are welcomed in the three south rooms, then dinner is served in the Salone. The site recommends this format for winter, when a large indoor space is needed. Photo and film shoots are also accepted.
For a seminar or a conference, ask for the Salone delle Feste format or for the custom solution, which combines one room or several spaces according to the brief. The south wing has its own access, separate from the museum route of the north wing, which makes it practical for a group arriving together.
Rooms and capacities
The four formats are the following. Parterre covers the entrance hall (Androne), the main courtyard (Corte d'Onore, about 550 m²) and the garden, plus two rooms of the north wing, Sala del Camino and Sala delle Pietre, with cloakroom and restrooms. Salone delle Feste adds the Salone and the entire south wing. Piano Nobile is the whole noble floor in exclusive use, including the north wing. The custom solution mixes rooms as needed.
The south wing has three large halls. Sala dei Quadri measures 117 m², has a square plan and large windows on two walls, and the venue describes it as suitable for any setup. Sala Enea measures 88 m² and connects to its neighbors through three large wooden doors. Sala Artemide measures 84 m² and looks directly onto the garden and its labyrinth. The north wing holds the Appartamento '900, seven rooms with original furnishings, which is a museum route during the day and can be hired exclusively for gala evenings and prestige events.
Catering
Next to the south halls the palace has two rooms for catering service and a restroom area with double facilities. The official site does not say whether catering is provided by the venue or by a caterer chosen by the client. Ask this before you compare formats, because it affects how the dinner in the Salone is organized.
History and setting
The garden dates from the late 16th century and follows the Italian formal style. The palace, in the manner of Sanmicheli, has a noble floor with 13 halls and salons from the 1500s to the 1700s. The Giusti family lived in the north wing until 1944. The apartment was restored and reopened to visitors in 2018, and it documents 400 years of family history. In the south wing, the ceiling of Sala Enea carries a fresco of a scene from Virgil's poem, and Sala Artemide has painted mythological scenes and trompe-l'oeil pilasters. The Venetian-style floors date to the 16th century.
