Horti custos: la dispensa come atelier
On Saturday 17, in the Spazio Extra Art, Caterina Zaira Laskaris, head of the Library and Historical Archives of the Collegio Borromeo, traces an unusual path between workshop and kitchen.
What do mulberries and garlic heads, vinegar and whipped egg whites, cheese and candied sugar have in common with art? Not only has the world of food always been a source of creative inspiration - as the Custode dell'Orto demonstrates - but it is closely connected to many stages in the creation of artistic artefacts.

Horti Custos: Esposizione "Il Custode dell'Orto"
Horti, in collaboration with Galleria Canesso, has inaugurated the exhibition Horti Custos: The Custode dell’Orto within the Spazio Extra Art.
The work, a very rare case of transposition into stone of the artistic spirit of the Milanese painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526-1593), aims to highlight the profound bond between man and nature; the sculpture is the work of a Lombard artist whose identity is still shrouded in mystery. The temporary exhibition will be in continuous dialogue with the work of British artist David Tremlett, who already enriches the space.
From 12 April to 21 September 2025: the work is always visible from the compass during the opening hours of Horti. For access to the room ask the guardian Tomas. Download the flyer.
UNTIL THE 21ST SEPTEMBER

Battaglia di Pavia: quando l'uomo col cavallo incontrò l'uomo con l'archibugio
What exactly happened on 24 February 1525? And why is it important to remember it?
At the Battle of Pavia, the imperial army of Charles V and the French troops led by King Francis I faced off. A clash not only between peoples, but between innovation and tradition, both technologically and strategically, whose outcome shook the whole of Europe.
In this popular narrative, by and with park guide Simone Miraldi, the main protagonists and events that made that date an emblematic change of epoch between the medieval and modern eras will be examined.
6TH APRIL 4:00 PM
Alla scoperta di San Marco
This Sunday at 3 p.m., we look forward to seeing you at the archaeological excavation in Horti for a guided tour with the archeologist, Luca Visconti, to discover first-hand the progress of the site.
At the end we will celebrate Christmas with a cup of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts.

Inaugurazione opera Senza Titolo di Jannis Kounellis
Untitled by Jannis Kounellis, the great master of Arte Povera who died in 2017, is the newest artwork to make its entrance in the Horti park. The work, created for the Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, will be inaugurated in the Extra Art space of the Almo Collegio Borromeo on Thursday 5 December at 6.30 pm. A toast will follow.
‘Untitled’ is composed of casts of classical heads and limestone elements hung from steel cables that hang from a height of 4 metres, the sculpture has a great scenographic presence, evoking a stage on whose dark backdrop the suspended volumes stand out.
We thank the Ospedale Maggiore of Milan, owner of the work, for the loan of use granted to the Almo Collegio Borromeo of Pavia.

Disputationes: Arti in Dialogo con Michele De Lucchi e Mariangela Gualtieri
The historical revisitations of collegiate traditions in a contemporary key continue.
On 21 November at 6.30 p.m. we will host Michele De Lucchi, architect and designer, and Mariangela Gualtieri, poet and writer, in the Sala Affreschi of the Collegio Borromeo. This large space used to be the place where students' preparation was publicly tested. The examination and graduation ceremony of Borromeo students were held here, as well as academic disputes - forms of debate derived from the medieval practice of disputatio - considered indispensable to supplement the university course, allowing students to perfect their expository skills.
De Lucchi and Gualtieri, recalling the dialectical practices implemented by Federico Borromeo, will discuss architecture and poetry today.
21 NOVEMBER H.6.30 P.M.
Horti in Refettorio: Michelangelo Pistoletto e Serena Bertolucci

Study
center
Horti includes a Study Centre, coordinated by Prof. Clelia Martignoni, which aims to build, through various initiatives and meetings, interdisciplinary dialogues between different knowledge and perspectives on the complex, 'perennial' and topical theme of living. These initiatives are also aimed at enhancing the third mission activity and the College's relationship with the territory, in order to foster new experiences of training, education, reflection, inclusion and social aggregation, under the banner of connecting knowledge in rigorous inventive forms, with the intention of bringing together salient aspects and moments of ancient, modern and contemporary culture.
Different disciplines are called upon in a diachronic and synchronic dialogue: literature, art, history of ideas and thought, anthropology, psychology, theology, history, law, science and technology, in the construction of a Triennial centred on a unifying theme that brings together several perspectives, several periods, several cultures, several approaches: a 'knowledge laboratory' that creates connections of knowledge and induces critical visions and new awareness.
