Behind those gates lies the Garden of Eden. Mediterranean in Nature, as we imagine Heaven to be on Earth. Although it is not the work of God they must have blessed it from up above: this is all-human produce of outstanding people: the Faro family. Emanuela Rosa Clot – Director of Gardenia.
The Radicepura Garden Festival, the first international event dedicated to garden design and architecture of the Mediterranean landscape which involves great landscaping protagonists, artist and architects, young designers, researchers, institutions, companies. The heart of the Festival is the celebration of the garden, not only in its aesthetic-cultural value, but also for its role as an ideal place to stop your eyes on the beauties, in this case, of the Sicilian Region.
A new approach to the environment, shaped by climate change and wars, demands that landscape design adapt with a style that respects modern times: lines, pathways, volumes, functions, and gardeners alone are no longer enough to make a place a garden. A garden has always required a design, yet it does not necessarily need to be interpreted—it can leave room for imagination. However, today, the certainties of formal spaces are wavering, giving way to a stylistic shift that no longer fears recognizing fundamental values in the smallest details. In some cases, even a simple immersion in lush vegetation may suffice. In these new gardens, the wonder of creation does not oppose idleness; rather, there is a greater awareness and respect for the environment.
