The exhibition ‘La Lunga Arte. Francesco Leonetti and Arnaldo Pomodoro’ is accompanied by a round table that will take place on 3 October at 5.30 p.m. at the Collegio Borromeo.

Proposed as a moment of discussion on Leonetti's and Pomodoro's work and on the idea that art making is channelled through different expressive means, the round table will be introduced and coordinated by Clelia Martignoni (University of Pavia) and will see the participation of: Paolo Campiglio (University of Pavia), Aurora Donzelli (University of Bologna), Federico Giani (Fondazione Pomodoro) and Giorgio Zanchetti (Università Statale di Milano). 

The ‘Horticinum’ event will be soon coming back to Horti. 

The guide of the park, Simone Miraldi, will recount the city of Pavia through 4 historically contextualised legends: the name of Pavia, the Angel of the Plague, Saint Augustine in Ciel d'Oro, the ghost of the Visconti Castle.

The event is dedicated to all Horti Friends.

The open air Yoga course will continue even after the summer, in partnership with FitGiadaZen A.S.D.

Horti, on the second anniversary since its opening, will be hosting the 'Horti Aperti' event for the third year running. The market exhibition, located in the 'Community of Trees' of the Horti park, will focus on the theme 'the forest and the garden'.

Horti Aperti intends to address the themes of ecology and the quality of life in the city and to combine "knowledge" - meetings and conferences - with the "know-how" of those who live the world of greenery in a responsible manner, including great gardeners, nurserymen and experts.

A discounted rate is available for all Horti Friends: 5€ for a single day, 8€ for two days.

Horti inaugurated the exhibition “Progetto Genesi. Arte e Diritti Umani” open until Sunday, June 2.

Pavia, thanks to the support of the Fondazione Banca del Monte di Lombardia, hosts a stage of the Genesi Association's traveling initiative. The exhibition stems from the belief that contemporary art can take on the role of ambassador of human rights. In line with the mission of the Horti, where natural habitats, art and ethics are intertwined, the theme will be environmental protection.

The exhibition is open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Last admission at 5:30 p.m.

The guided tours are on Saturday and Sunday at 4 p.m. Pre-booking is not required. For more information, write to info@horti.it

On Saturday, May 18 at 8:30 p.m., Horti of the Collegio Borromeo will host the first silent concert in the art park.

After the Louvre, the Egyptian Museum and the Valley of the Temples, pianist Andrea Vizzini (born 1979) will also come to Pavia. The reciting voice of the concert is Antonio Gargiulo. Each concert becomes an immersive experience thanks to silent piano technology. Spectators will get to explore the park while listening to the music through headphones.

Participation in the Silent Concert is free for all Horti Friends.

Horti in Primavera continues with five Pavia legends.

With park guide Simone Miraldi on the 6th April we will visit the park through various legends told and historically contextualised: the mute with the hatchet to his neck, Alboin's horse, the devil of the bridge, the Madonna of the star and the hundred towers.

At the end of the visit, an aperitivo with a medieval theme is planned next to the archaeological excavation of the Horti.

For Horti Friend, those with a Horti card, the visit costs €5. For non-members, the cost is 15€.

3 days of celebration to mark the arrival of spring. Horti in primavera will start with a poetry slam event, followed by a visit to the archaeological excavation, a jazz concert, a cycle workshop and finally a swap party.
