History
Before the construction public garden, the area was occupied by a botanical maze owned by the Ignazio Paternò Castello, prince of Biscari.[3] In 1854, the Comune di Catania bought the area of the maze, and in 1864 started the adapt the area into a public garden.[3] Starting from 1875, the municipality acquired several areas surrounding the maze too, and two years the work to unify these areas was undertaken.[3]
The Giardino Bellini was finally inaugurated in 1883.[3]
