1 _ Spazio Italiana Terricci "Il giardino ritrovato" (“The Rediscovered Garden”)
project by Marco Fraschini, Marta Viganò and Elisa Costa
[Concept]
Beauty, harmony, care, and abundance are the common threads running through the imaginative representations of the Gardens of Eden.
Il giardino ritrovato is an echo of the world’s first garden — an idyllic place where the sun shines gently and seems to never set.
It is a welcoming green space, with a central lawn embraced by generous trees and shrubs, chosen not only for their beauty but also for their usefulness. An invitation to enter and be enveloped by a new reality, where the spontaneous richness of the plant world takes center stage.
Bringing this lush cornucopia to life are numerous symbols of vitality: a clear stream, large fruit trees with overflowing canopies, blooming shrubs, and the presence of wild and edible plants.
A corner of beauty that offers an escape from everyday life, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in another dimension — a possible Eden, made of familiar elements, where peace reigns among all living beings.

A few questions to Marco Fraschini
Let’s talk about Genesis—how did your story begin?
I was born in Colico on the shores of Lake Como in August 1943, in the midst of wartime. In Colico I began to appreciate the woods and meadows (then largely cultivated), surrounding the small villages nestled on the slopes of Mount Legnone.
