Orticolario for landscape culture and social engagement
Orticolario was born as a double-value event: charitable and social support purposes meet the desire to spread a refined landscape culture. The line separating the “two hearts” of the event is often thin, undefined. Each nuance of the project contributes to the same purpose, encapsulating a social essence and cultural intent. An inseparable core.
An ode to culture in all its forms.
The meticulous selection of nurserymen and exhibitors aims to share a precise awareness of the landscape and a sophisticated artistic quality. Everything converges towards this goal. For the students involved in the event’s realization, from setup to guided tours in Villa Antica, Orticolario becomes a significant educational and training moment. The events programme engages experts, landscapers, agronomists, and visionaries. Performances, experiences, and workshops evoke, surprise, and intrigue. Activities for children create a “bridge” of discovery for the youngest ones towards the world of advanced gardening.
The social heart.
Since 2009 Orticolario and all its side events have supported philanthropic projects. A shared intent between various realities towards a common charitable purpose. The organization supports five associations in the Lake Como area engaged in social projects and actively involved in the realization of the event. Since the first edition, thanks in part to contributions raised through the “Amici di rtticolario” Fund at the Fondazione Provinciale della Comunità Comasca, over 300,000 euros have been donated.
