As part of the exhibition "La Felicità Possibile" organised by the Diocesan Museum of Pavia and curated by Giosuè Allegrini and Filippo Moretti, we are offering a free guided tour of Horti. Simone Miraldi will take us on a special journey, with the theme of fragility as the central thread.

24th APRIL 5:30 PM

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.

On Sunday 26 April at 5.30 pm, I Satelliti are back to visit us. The inclusive theatre company I Satelliti brings a brand-new, site-specific travelling performance entitled “I racconti della Luna” to the Horti. 

 

The characters who bring their show 2026 to life, on tour since June, will guide the audience through a series of visionary and poetic installations, via numerous small “sets” that bring the performers very close to the audience, in a unique, intimate and engaging way, just like the secrets the Moon whispers only to those who know how to listen.

 

Booking required, at the link. 

26th APRIL 5:30 PM

The “Chair of Hope” returns on 29 May with Lama Michel Rinpoche, who was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and has been recognised by Lama Gangchen Rinpoche and many other great masters as a “tulku”, the reincarnation of a Tibetan Buddhist master.

 

At the age of twelve, Lama Michel spontaneously decided to embark on a monastic life in southern India, where he studied and learnt the fundamentals of Buddhist philosophy. He has been living in Italy since 2004 and gives valuable teachings at the Kunpen Lama Gangchen Centre.

 

Lama Rinpoche will be in conversation with Mauro Querci, a journalist. Free participation through booking. Download the flyer and sign up at the event. 

29th MAY 6:00 PM

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 meeting will be on the 12th June. The third book we will be discussing is "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi. For further information, please email bookclub@horti.it
