In the early 1900s Baldassare Forestiere built (on his own) a series of subterranean gardens based on ancient catacombs from his native Italy. But he built these in Fresno, California. After living in California for much of my life, I can’t believe I’ve only now heard about this. I’d love to see this. http://www.forestiere-historicalcenter.com
