Parque Lage
(in full "Parque Enrique Lage") is a public park in the city of Rio
De Janeiro, located in the Jardim Botanico neighborhood at the foot of the Corcovado.
The land was formerly the residence of industrialist Enrique Lage and his wife,
singer Gabriela Bezanzoni. During the 1920s Lage had the mansion remodeled by
Italian architect Mario Vodrel, with interior paintings by Salvador Payols
Sabate. In the 1960s the land became a public park, with walking trails through
subtropical forest. The Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage (Visual Arts
School of Parque Lage) and a café open to the public operate from the former
mansion. The mansion was notably featured in the 2003 music video for Snoop
Dogg's single "Beautiful. Source
