A view of the newly restored Royal Gardens in Venice, Italy, Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2019. Venice’s Royal Gardens were first envisioned by Napolean, flourished under Austrian Empress Sisi and were finally opened to the public by the Court of Savoy, until falling into disrepair in recent years. After an extensive restoration, the gardens reopened Tuesday as a symbol both of the lagoon city’s endurance and the necessity of public-private partnerships to care for Italy’s extensive cultural heritage.
