Following the cancellation of the event initially scheduled for the weekend of October 26–27 due to bad weather, we return to the Rose Garden of Moncalieri Castle on Saturday, November 9, and Sunday, November 10.

Nursery gardeners, artisans, farmers, artists, and special guests will come together to celebrate the season and the region. Together, we’ll explore the Moncalieri hills, meet new producers and craftspeople, listen to music, and discuss biodiversity.
