Appointment in Garden / Picnic in Villa
"Appuntamento in Giardino" is an initiative proposed by APGI - Associazione Parchi e Giardini d'Italia. The event, designed as an authentic garden festival, was born in accordance with the initiative "Rendez-vous aux jardins", which will take place simultaneously in many European countries.
SATURDAY 1 AND SUNDAY 2 JUNE 2024
For the occasion, Villa dei Vescovi proposes a two-day event full of initiatives.
On Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 June guided tours are scheduled at fixed times (11 - 12 - 15 and 16) and during the two special days activities in the green.
In both days it will also be possible to deepen the theme of Biodiversity thanks to the immersive video-installation "An environment for the environment" - set up in the basement of the Villa, and entrusted to the voice of Marco Paolini - that the FAI dedicates to the story of the landscape as an outcome of the inextricable interweaving between history and nature.
You can also visit the Villa independently with the audio guide activated at the ticket office via QR Code.
For the little ones and their families is also available a treasure hunt in the green spaces to discover plants, flowers and shrubs. HOURS AND PROGRAM From 10 to 18, last entry at 17
