The Laghetto dei Giardini di Ussita is a small pond in the public gardens of Ussita, a municipality in the province of Macerata, in the Marche. It is a green corner in the village, suitable for a short stop.

Next to the pond stood a wooden statue of the Madonna, donated to the community after the earthquake by one of the groups that helped Ussita at the time. For the residents it is a symbol of solidarity. In an act of vandalism the statue was thrown into the water and later recovered. Before visiting, it is wise to check whether the work is back in its place.
