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