Per Milano,
il Giardino e
la Città


“Together we could pause on the simplicity of a flower that shines in the light, heralding a fruit, a new adventure, a seed, an invention. We could draw it and perhaps give it a landscape. We could even give it a name. And then it will exist.”1

A small but precious exhibition, in the SPAZIOBAD space, to give a name to everything that comes towards our gaze, to make it exist. The poetry of giving a name to everything that was born free from our language. The garden as a place of living, a place of manifestation of a poetic dimension, as a home, a place of the sacred, a place of earth and sky, a place of magic, a place of human face, a place of the show of time, a place of coming to light. A dedication to Milan; not a review of the Garden in the “middle city”, but a reinterpretation and a hope by five authors who look at the relationship between the enclosure/paradise (*2) of the garden, the shape of the city, and their own perception and feelings.
