Bologna 17 to 19 May 2019

Three days to discover that Bologna is a garden

Diverdeinverde is the event in Bologna that, one weekend a year, offers people the chance to visit the hidden gardens in the city centre and the parks in the foothills and surrounding plains. It is a special opportunity to discover the city from a different viewpoint, enjoy surprising corners and viewpoints, admire large trees and countless different species of plants and flowers, and appreciate both historic and more modern landscape architecture.

Diverdeinverde is going to open the gates and doors of 51 private and secret gardens from the afternoon of Friday, 17 May until the evening of Sunday, 19 May 2019.

You can download the English text of the programme, which had to be read together with the map. At this link, you can find the full program for the web. From this link, the single description of the gardens

Please take note! Gardens n. 33 (via Nosadella 49) and n. 40 (via Battaglia 6) WILL NOT be opened.

Extra programme:  a Sala Boschereccia painted by Rodolfo Fantuzzi will extraordinarily open for us. Casa Laura Baravelli, via San Procolo 7,entrance every half an hour on Friday from 3 pm to 7 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm and from 3 pm to 7 pm (last entrance is  half an hour before closing). Limited capacity. One steep flight of stairs to reach the first floor.

This year, once again, the cover photo was selected from the many photos sent to us by the visitors. It was taken by Aneta Malinowska, who we would like to thank again. It has now become a tradition and makes the event even more participatory, so please send your pictures shot during the event, preferably with good definition, to diverdeinverde@fondazionevillaghigi.it. We will post a few in the gallery on our website and we will select the 2020 cover page from all those we receive.
