In 2025, we opened Horti Bistrot, a place that is not just a restaurant, but a space for growth and new opportunities. Every day, people with disabilities and prisoners benefiting from Article 21 participate in a training course for waiters and waitresses.

 

Here they learn about service, mise en place and professional skills, but above all they regain self-confidence and build their future. All this is possible thanks to work grants, which are essential tools for ensuring a real, dignified and supported path to integration.

 

With concrete support, our young people have the opportunity to test themselves, train and start afresh. Supporting a work grant means offering a chance for independence, inclusion and redemption. You too can make a difference: support a work grant, support the future of Rebecca, Adil and Matteo.

Horti inaugurates the "Cattedra della speranza" within the Horti Extra Art space, a moment where testimony becomes teaching to interpret the present and believe in the possibility of a better world.

 

The invited voices share the reasons for their hope, which is nourished by looking around, even in a desperate world. They are small, silent and intangible lights that pierce the night and fuel the courage not to give in to resignation. The "Cattedra della speranza" thus becomes a place of encounter and discernment, where personal experience becomes common good and teaching takes shape as an invitation to inhabit the world with new eyes, rooted in reality and oriented towards the future.

 

The first event will feature artist Adrian Paci in conversation with journalist Mauro Querci. Paci - painter, sculptor, visual artist - will explore the theme 'Art that challenges reality: between memory, migration and representation'.

A Horti Book Club was created by our student collective. The reading group will meet every two months and, at each meeting, will discuss a book belonging to a different genre. In this first edition, entitled Sui generis, participants will embark on a veritable 'reader's journey', exploring literature through the nuances and peculiarities of the literary genres that comprise it.

 

The next event will be on the 16th April. The second book we will be talking about is "The years" by Annie Ernaux. For more information, write to bookclub@horti.it

We are proud to announce that our director Alberto Lolli has been elected "Pavese of the Year" in a competition organised by the daily newspaper La Provincia Pavese. "I am delighted that the city has recognised the work we are doing. This is not a personal victory but a collective one, belonging to all the people who are bringing this project to life. I am pleased to see that solidarity, inclusion and social justice still have value," said Alberto Lolli.

 

Thank you to everyone who expressed their support through this vote.

The Horti are an urban park open to everyone, where natural habitats, contemporary art, ethical commitment, fairness and social inclusion intertwine.

We describe the park through the five senses, fairy tales and colours, as well as art, history, biodiversity, archaeology and ethics.
